Course details
Virtual machines and containers power modern software development, testing, and deployment. Want to know how they actually work, and when to use one over the other?
Whether you're breaking into IT, learning application development, switching careers into tech, or just want to understand what's behind modern apps, this introductory course gives you a solid foundation. Explore how virtualization lets one computer act like many, and dive into the role of hypervisors, resource sharing, and safer testing environments. Discover why containers are transforming deployment through portability, speed, and consistency, and see how they handle application data and dependencies. Compare VMs and containers side by side, spot common myths, and get hands-on with tools like UTM and Docker to see boot time, isolation, and resource usage in action. Finish with real-world examples of how companies combine microservices, VMs, and containers to build fast, scalable, reliable systems.
