- [Instructor] Containers are the next evolution of virtualization. They're a lightweight way to package up an entire application and make it portable so that it can easily move between hardware platforms. In traditional virtualization, we have hardware that supports a hypervisor and then that hypervisor supports guest virtual machines. Each of those guest machines runs its own operating system and applications, allowing the applications to function independently of the hardware. You can move a virtual machine from hardware to hardware, as long as that hardware is all running the same hypervisor. One of the downsides to traditional virtualization is that virtual machines are somewhat heavy. Each one has to have its own operating system and components. If you're running 10 different Windows virtual servers on a hypervisor, you have the overhead of running 10 different copies of Windows at the same time. Containerization seeks…
