  2. Containerization (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containerization_(computing)

    In software engineering, containerization is operating-system–level virtualization or application-level virtualization over multiple network resources so that software applications can run in isolated user spaces called containers in any cloud or non-cloud environment, regardless of type or vendor. [1]

  3. LXC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXC

    LXC was initially developed by IBM, as part of a collaboration between several parties looking to add namespaces to the kernel. [7] It provides operating system-level virtualization through a virtual environment that has its own process and network space, instead of creating a full-fledged virtual machine.

  4. OS-level virtualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-level_virtualization

    OS-level virtualization is an operating system (OS) virtualization paradigm in which the kernel allows the existence of multiple isolated user space instances, including containers (LXC, Solaris Containers, AIX WPARs, HP-UX SRP Containers, Docker, Podman), zones (Solaris Containers), virtual private servers (), partitions, virtual environments (VEs), virtual kernels (DragonFly BSD), and jails ...

  5. Docker (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docker_(software)

    Docker can package an application and its dependencies in a virtual container that can run on any Linux, Windows, or macOS computer. This enables the application to run in a variety of locations, such as on-premises , in public (see decentralized computing , distributed computing , and cloud computing ) or private cloud . [ 10 ]

  6. Comparison of platform virtualization software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_platform...

    Some other products such as VMware and Virtual PC use similar approaches to Bochs and QEMU, however they use a number of advanced techniques to shortcut most of the calls directly to the CPU (similar to the process that JIT compiler uses) to bring the speed to near native in most cases.

  7. Singularity (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(software)

    Singularity is a free and open-source computer program that performs operating-system-level virtualization also known as containerization. [4]One of the main uses of Singularity is to bring containers and reproducibility to scientific computing and the high-performance computing (HPC) world.

  8. OpenVZ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openvz

    OpenVZ (Open Virtuozzo) is an operating-system-level virtualization technology for Linux. It allows a physical server to run multiple isolated operating system instances, called containers, virtual private servers (VPSs), or virtual environments (VEs). OpenVZ is similar to Solaris Containers and LXC.

  9. Virtual machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine

    In computing, a virtual machine (VM) is the virtualization or emulation of a computer system. Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide the functionality of a physical computer. Their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination of the two.
