Nowaday the industry standard today is to use virtual machines to run software applications that provide full process isolation.
Att.: Process isolation means that a problem in the host operating system hardly can affect the software running in the guest operating system, and vice-versa.
This isolation, however, comes at great cost because of the computational overhead spent virtualizing hardware for a guest OS.
Containers take a different approach that provide almost the same level of the isolation of virtual machines, but at a fraction of the computing power and using more efficiently the underlying system and resources. Continue reading
