Introduction to VM and containers
It is very important to understand two significant forces in the cloud world – virtualization and containers. These technologies are similar in some ways and aim to provide efficiency, portability, and DevOps capabilities, but they do so differently and have some unique characteristics.
In later chapters, we will use examples and use cases from the telecoms and 5G world in the context of the hybrid cloud. The telecoms industry is evolving at a fast pace based on a service-based architecture (SBA). Virtualization, containers, and Kubernetes are key to the implementation of 5G and are at the heart of it. These technologies allow telecoms operators to bring new services to market without worrying about the underlying infrastructure/cloud.
Let’s take some time to dig deep and understand these technologies.
VMs
Most of us run our workloads on VMs. By utilizing virtualization technology, specifically the hypervisor component, VMs...
