Both containers and VMs have benefits and drawbacks, and the ultimate decision will depend on your specific needs. Here are popular providers in the space of virtual machines and containers.
VMs are a better choice for running apps that require all of the operating system’s resources and functionality
when you need to run multiple applications on servers, or have a wide variety of operating systems to
manage.
Containers are a better choice when your biggest priority is maximizing the number of applications running on a
minimal number of servers.
