Containers and VMs each have their uses–in fact, many deployments of containers use VMs as the host operating system rather than running directly on the hardware, especially when running containers in the cloud. For an overview of containers, see Windows and containers.
Are containers like VMs?
Conclusion Virtual machines and containers differ in several ways, but the primary difference is that containers provide a way to virtualize an OS so that multiple workloads can run on a single OS instance. With VMs, the hardware is being virtualized to run multiple OS instances.
Will containers replace VMs?
Not a Complete Replacement
The point of view among some experts is that although containerization offers many benefits, it will not completely replace virtual machines. That's because containerization and virtual machines have particular capabilities that help solve different solutions.
