Containers offer a significant advantage over virtual machines by providing lightning-fast, portable, and isolated environments []. While both offer isolation, containers are considerably quicker to launch and consume fewer resources []. They achieve this efficiency by emulating a minimal file system and sharing the host's kernel, the core of an operating system responsible for managing hardware and software interactions [, ]. This allows developers to run multiple applications with different operating system requirements simultaneously without local conflicts [] and effectively eliminates the "it works on my machine" problem [].
