A natural response when first working with Docker containers is to try and frame them in terms of virtual machines. Oftentimes we hear people describe Docker containers as “lightweight VMs”.

• Why Containers are not VMs
• How Containers and VMs can be used together for capacity optimization
• Running containers on physical servers vs virtual machines
