| This helps developers to run and host multiple OS on the hardware of a single physical server. |
This helps developers to deploy multiple applications using the same operating system on a single virtual machine or server. |
| Hypervisors provide overall virtual machines to the guest operating systems. |
Containers ensure isolated environment/ user spaces are provided for running the applications. Any changes done within the container do not reflect on the host or other containers of the same host. |
| These virtual machines form an abstraction of the system hardware layer this means that each virtual machine on the host acts like a physical machine. |
Containers form abstraction of the application layer which means that each container constitutes a different application. |
