Episode 3. Can Virtual Machine a solution for Docker?
Yes, we can use Virtual Machine for all applications as they are encapsulated separately.
Problem:
The problem is every time we install Virtual Machine (VM), we install a brand virtual new computer. Lots of spaces are wasted. The system will be slow or dead performance-wise.😵
Pros and Cons:
Let us see both the positive and negative effects of using VM.
Docker and Containers:
→ So here comes the picture of containers.
→ It is important to note containers solves our problems and docker is a software tool that manages containers.
→ Here we have a docker engine, that will easily switch between containers.
→ Another cool feature is we have a docker configuration file in the application, that we can share with our colleagues and create a similar environment.
Difference:
Let us see the difference between the two:

Closing Thoughts:
Docker wins for various reasons — faster performance, less memory wastage, easily sharable.
If our company works in VDI (i.e. remote desktops eg AnyDesk or TeamViewer). Computer slowness will reach the next level.
