    Wikipedia is a great resource.

    I will try to give a simple explanation. I am not expert with these technologies.

    Maybe you tried to write "Kubernetes", it's equal to "Composer" for PHP, Kubernetes run with Docker; and you have a great production of containers.

    The software for Virtual Machines runs on a separate guest OS, and Docker run the images within the same OS Kernel. (other important difference it's Hypervisor vs Kernel)

    I don't know Rancher and Boxes.

    My english is bad :P

      Thanks Alejandro
      That was quite straight and simple indeed

    Long in short:

    • Virtual Machine (Virtualbox, VMware etc.) = kernel + os + application
    • Container (Docker etc.) = kernel + necessary libraries from os + application
    • Orchestration Tool (Kubernetes) = Manager/Scheduler/Maintainer of containers, which can allocates resources for container and/or run/kill/scale containers.
