Virtual Machines vs Containers

This is an animated video explaining the difference between virtual machines and containers.

[ThioJoe]

Finally after years, a simple explanation for what Docker is

Your animation and graphics are NEXT LEVEL. Easy to understand and very good for visual learners. Thank you!!

This is the first video ive ever seen that completely breaks down and shows what containers actually are. Dockers own white papers arent as great as this. Thank you so much for this video. Im subscribed!!!

Very well done! Two other things to consider: Another "con" to VM's is maintenance and updates. Each VM is a running instance of an operating system, and as you point out it has to be licensed. It also has to be patched/updated/cared for, just like any other server.
On the container side, one problem there is persistence. Deploying containers that have databases, or other data stores that need to "stick" is challenging. Containers are great because you can deploy them, move them around, and tear them down quickly and easily. Not so easy if they provide the persistence.

Servers can run multiple applications. Multitasking has been a feature of OS's since the 1960. VM's were created to run different OSs. Containers were created to simplify deployment of applications.

You have no business making it this simple! Such a clear and precise video/explanation....Very well done! Thank you so much!

[tarekelsabaa]

you never fail to amaze me with how simple you explain things.. keep up the good work!

[alonzosmith]

I miss the days of building servers, installing the OS, locking it down then racking stacking servers to handoff to the application teams

I’m just making a career switch to IT. I’m so glad that I found this channel. Finally someone who can explain things so clear and easy. Thank you so much ❤️

[SeekersMentality]

I think a vid about the differences between quantum and standard computing would be a nice topic to cover

[carlosmccrary]

You are the man as always! This channel is such a blessing. I have been struggling specifically with the concept of containers lately but now you’ve made it crystal clear. Thank you!

[CertifiedOtherBoy-cnpg]

Again and again through out my studies, I find myself returning to your videos. Thank for you for simplifying these concepts for us.

[aniketsaha]

This guy should be teaching and explaining all the subjects ever existed in world...I Aniket Declare you as the "Master Teacher".

[MarcosDemian]

You never cease to amaze me with the simplicity of your explanations. I'm totally new to the concept of containers and this is the first time that I´m able to understand what's going on behind the scenes. Thank you very much for sharing this tutorials

[squareheadc]

Wow, it can't get much more clear and concise than this! Thanks!

[ridenar]

love the simplicity/clearness of this. In my experience the more complex someone makes something, the less they understand it themselves, and are probably using alot of third hand information

[emreduman]

This is the simplest and clearest explanation of VM and Containers that I watched. I love your Animations, keep going.

[lazyk]

This is by far the simplest, most opaque description of these computing concepts I’ve ever experienced.

[SupraManG]

A very well detailed explanation between a Virtual Machine and Container. I never knew a CONTAINER existed until this video popped up. Great video, PowerCert and thank you for it.

[darman]

Thank you! Finally, an explanation that isn’t 45 minutes long and doesn’t use lingo to define lingo.
