Difference between VM and Docker
The difference between VM and Docker are listed in the below table:
Features | VM (Virtual Machines) | Docker |
---|---|---|
Boot-Time | VM boots in a few minutes. | Docker takes a few seconds to boot. |
Runs on | A virtual machine uses a hypervisor. | Dockers use an execution engine. |
Memory Efficiency | It is less efficient because it requires the whole operating system to be loaded before beginning the surface. | No space will be required for virtualization, so less memory. |
Isolation | Interference possibility will be minimum because of its isolation mechanism. | Dockers are prone to adversities. No provisions for many isolation systems. |
Deployment | VM contains lengthy deployment because it isolated instances are liable for execution. | Docker contains easy deployment because of an individual image. It is containerized and can be applied beyond each platform. |
Usage | A virtual machine has tools that are simpler and easy-to-use to implement. | Docker has a convoluted usage mechanism. It consists of docker managed tools and third party both. |
OS support | All virtual machines have an isolated OS. | All the containers can distribute OS. |
Storage | It requires a few GBs. | Its container is lightweight (MBs/KBs). |
Availability | Ready-made virtual machines are available but complex to find. | Pre-built containers of dockers are available. |
Resource Usage | More usage of resources. | Less usage of resources. |
Creation Time | Creating a virtual machine will take a longer time relatively. | The container of the docker can be made in seconds. |
