Application virtualization is a software technology that isolates the application from the running operating system and provides a layer between the application and the operating system as a runtime environment. A fully virtualized application is no longer installed on an operating system in the traditional sense, although it still runs on the basis of it. The application behaves as if it were … [Read more...]

How OS-Level Virtualization Works
OS-level virtualization is a method of allowing multiple instances of an operating system (as "guests") to use the kernel of a host system in isolation from each other. In contrast to virtualization using a hypervisor, container virtualization has some limitations like its guests but is considered to be particularly resource-efficient. The Docker software became popular in IT in 2013, among … [Read more...]

Kubernetes Technology is Not a Replacement for Docker
Kubernetes and Docker are used to manage container technologies, but they are complementary to one another and can be powerful when combined. A container is a unit of software that benefits from portability across different IT environments because it relies on an abstracted, portable environment. A container is similar to a virtual machine in that it both relies on the same technology, but a VM … [Read more...]
