1. Virtual machines vs. containers

Both virtual machines (VMs) and containers use virtualization to create isolated environments for running applications. The key difference lies in the granularity of virtualization they provide—VMs virtualize at the operating-system (OS) or machine level while containers virtualize at the software level.

3. What is container orchestration?

Container orchestration tools help you provision, configure, deploy, and manage containers at scale. From allocating storage and compute resources to handling networking, load balancing, and traffic routing, container orchestration plays a vital role in setting up CI-CD pipelines, DevOps workflows, and microservices architectures. Examples of container orchestration tools include Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, and Docker Swarm.
