Containers are just lightweight virtual machines, right? No, not really. There's much more to the story than that, so we decided to do a four-part series on virtual machines versus containers.

In parts 1 and 2, we discussed virtual machines in detail and how they work. Now, in parts 3 and 4, we turn our attention to containers. Turns out, containers are not very complicated. They are just normal Linux processes with some isolation superpowers.

In today's episode of Mobycast, Jon and Chris go into depth on containers, their history and the underlying operating system technologies that make them possible. If you ever wondered why you can't run Windows containers on a Linux host, this episode will clear up the mystery.
