A Docker container is often described as an improvement over what other technology?

DevOps

microservices

cloud computing

virtual machines

Correct Answer : virtual machines

Docker containers are less resource intensive, as they provide process-level virtualization as opposed to full OS virtualization provided by a VM, which is one of the reasons the industry has shifted toward containers.

The history of application containerization is intimately tied to which OS?

MacOS

Linux

Windows

Android

At the OS level, the goal of independent application execution and failure isolation is achieved through the use of:

namespaces

Kubernetes

control groups

security groups

Correct Answer : namespaces
