    What are virtual machines and containers, and how do they fit into our modern cloud-native way of building and architecting applications?
    In this lightboard video, Nigel Brown with IBM Cloud, answers this question and much more in four parts. He also breaks down why users should not just look at virtual machines and containers as competing technologies because there can be a lot of benefits of having them work together for particular use cases.

    key sentence is: "VM is isolation of machines, while Containers is isolation of processes"

      Yeah, well that was the world in 2016. Since than some things have changed in regards of containers - and (traditional) process level isolation is today starting to feel somewhat legacy ;) At least from the security perspective.

      @@7heLostAndDamned There are several projects going on for some time to add a lightweight virtualization layer to container runtimes. The most important project in that direction is KATA, but there are some others. This year we have already seen 3 critical vulnerabilities affecting especially container platforms, so this is surely they way to go if you dont want to intensively dive into SELinux and Seccomp. Baidu did an awseome whitepaper on their use of Kata back in oct.2019. RedHat also has this on their Roadmap for OpenShift probably coming this year.

    1. The level at which virtualization happens - virtualization happens at hardware level vs. OS level
    2. The type of isolation achieved - isolation of machines vs. isolation of processes
    3. How resources are accessed - via hypervisor vs. via kernel features such as namespace and cgroups
    4. Flexibility of hardware vs. portability

    This is a great explanation! I’ve been seeing more and more docker and kubernetes and just couldn’t figure out why somebody would want a container if they both technically make Virtualization. But seeing that one happens at the hardware lvl and one happens at the OS level that makes a lot of sense. I wonder if there is a security risk between the containers if somebody is able to gain access to the OS.
