To know about container importance,we need to know about virtual machine.
Virtual Machine :
Virtual machine help us to run other operating system in host operating system.
Uses of Virtual machine
Containers?
The container can be build from the above three things and chroot ( change root ) gives as the ability to switch to other environment (From one system control to other system control). To create a container you need container engine which perform the necessary steps for you and gives you a isolated environmentVirtual Machine :
Virtual machine help us to run other operating system in host operating system.
Uses of Virtual machine
- Malware Analysis - Without infecting the host machine we can able to analysis how the malware in virtual machine
- Huge software project require lot of dependency and lot of configuration. so they bundle everything in a container and transfer through virtual machine
- In serving different server ( hosting company )
- Virtual lab - For learning
- Virtual machine is awesome but it take more resource which cannot afford by more people.
- Not good as host machine when accessing hardware ( In Mac you cannot able to access wifi from virtual machine)
Containers?
- Container provide operating system level virtualization there by we can able to run multiple isolated environment in same host system.
- It provides a virtual environment that has its own CPU, memory, block I/O, network.
- Namespaces - provides isolation
- cgroups - access the limits of the cpu,memory,network.
- copy-on-write storage - duplicate the data of modifiable resources
Container Engines
- Docker
- runC
- LXC - Linux containers
- rkt - rocket container
- systemd-nspawn
- OpenVZ
- Jails/Zones
Container helps many developers to deploy and transfer their configuration easily across the world.
Anything else
Yes there is,Kubernetes
- Helps in managing containers
- Kubernetes facilitates both declarative configuration and automation.
- It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem.
- Kubernetes services, support, and tools are widely available.
