Here’s what you need to know:
• VMs virtualize the hardware layer, run their own OS, and offer strong isolation - but come with extra overhead.

•Containers share the host OS kernel, are lighter-weight and faster to start - but trade some isolation for efficiency.

•The right choice depends on your workload: legacy apps or multi-OS needs → VM. Fast scalability, microservices, and CI/CD cycles → Containers.
