What differentiates Docker from a bare metal hypervisor?
Docker uses OS-level virtualization, whereas a bare metal hypervisor runs independently from the OS. This means that Docker containers share the host OS kernel, making it lightweight and fast, while bare metal hypervisors run multiple virtual machines with their own operating systems on the hardware, independent of the host OS.
D. Hypervisors are of two types – the bare metal works directly on the hardware - while type two hypervisor works on top of the operating system. Docker works on the host kernel itself. Hence, it does not allow the user to create multiple instances of operating systems.
