Steve is a software developer for a large retail organization. His CISO returned from a large conference and asked him to clarify exactly what the benefit of a container in software development is over virtual machines. Which of these is the best succinct answer?
1) In a VM, hardware is virtualized to run multiple OS instances. Containers virtualize an OS to run multiple workloads on a single OS instance using a container engine.
2) In a container, hardware is virtualized to run a single OS, where a VM can run multiple applications across multiple assets with a single OS.
3) A VM is virtualized technology, but a container is not.
4) A container is the same thing as a virtual machine, just smaller in size.
