Think of it as a specialized OS that has extra instructions built-in to deal with the virtual machine's access to the actual hardware and resources. The bare-metal hypervisor on the other hand runs directly on the host machine's hardware.

#VMWARE VS VIRTUALBOX VS DOCKER DRIVERS#

That means the hypervisor runs as an application and is letting your Operating System's Kernel deal with hardware drivers or resource management. Most desktop virtualization software such as VirtualBox or Vmware Fusion/Player/Workstation use a hosted hypervisor. There are two types of hypervisors: hosted and bare-metal. The hypervisor can be thought of as an API that provides access to the hardware level for the virtual machines. The key component in any virtualization software is the Hypervisor, also known as the virtual machine monitor (VMM). If you're interested to read more about operating systems I suggest check out the Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces. For example, if you call File.open in Ruby, at some point in the execution the open system call will be executed and the Kernel will abstract away the interaction with the physical hard drive. The Applications running in the OS use the Kernel System API to request access to services from the Kernel (things like storage, memory, network or process management). The Kernel is the component of the OS that provides an abstraction layer between Device Drivers and Software. This is a broad subject but I will keep this overview very short, there's plenty of literature out there. Finally I will explain how Docker works and how it differs from classic virtualization.

Then move on to the Kernel's role in virtualization.

I will start out by briefly talking about Operating Systems and the Kernel. I am by no means an expert in either Docker or virtualization so feel free to comment if you find any inconsistencies.

#VMWARE VS VIRTUALBOX VS DOCKER UPDATE#

Note: if you run into issue with Windows updating it will be most likely something with drivers so as a small tip remove any USB device (other than Mouse and Keyboard) during the update and try again, if you still canвЂ™t update please troubleshoot and update before proceeding.ДЇirst enable WSL so you can run by command in вЂњAdministratorвЂќ PowerShell: dism.The motivation behind this post is to answer a simple question: What's the difference between Docker and classic Virtualization techniques? I set out to research this topic in depth and I will share my findings.

#VMWARE VS VIRTUALBOX VS DOCKER WINDOWS 10#

So your Windows 10 system have to be on May 2004 update or higher, if your in previous windows version you can force the updating by using update assistant from Microsoft:

#VMWARE VS VIRTUALBOX VS DOCKER INSTALL#

In Windows 10 latest May 2020 update or version 2004 they introduce a new version of Windows Subsystem Linux WSL2 instead of WSL1.ДЇor instance if you install Ubuntu from Microsoft Store you most likely using WSL but if you install docker in that Ubuntu it will not run by default if you are in WSL1, I donвЂ™t know if there is a workaround, but in WSL2 docker works like a charm as they implement WSL2 with some features of Hyber-v which provide real kernel level stuff that means in our case it helps to run docker inside that Linux system, Ubuntu for example. why? the issue has something to do with WSL1. Of course you can run a VM as a docker play ground but utilizing Windows features is more efficient solution.ДЄ good workaround is to install Ubuntu from Microsoft store and install docker in it, but in my case it didnвЂ™t work. Disabling and enabling Hyper-V will take affect after restarting the machine so it is a hassle to deal with it in addition to that when you need VMware/VBox and Docker at the same time. One of the worst issues in my opinion when installing Docker on Windows it requires to enable Hyper-V which disable VMware and VirtualBox.
