AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Containers Versus Virtual Machines

The video tutorial explores the evolution of virtualization, focusing on container-based virtualization as a step beyond traditional virtual machines. It compares containers and virtual machines, highlighting differences in isolation, security, and resource usage. Containers offer lightweight isolation and are efficient in resource usage, while virtual machines provide stronger security boundaries. The tutorial also covers deployment methods for both technologies, using tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Hyper V. Storage solutions for containers and VMs are discussed, emphasizing Azure services. Finally, the video addresses redundancy and fault tolerance, noting the advantages of container services in these areas.

What is a key difference between containers and virtual machines in terms of security?

• Containers do not provide any security boundaries.

• Containers provide stronger security boundaries than virtual machines.

• Both provide the same level of security.

• Virtual machines provide stronger security boundaries than containers.

Which tool is commonly used to deploy containers?

• Windows Admin Center

• VMware

• Hyper V

• Docker

Why do virtual machines require more system resources compared to containers?

• They use fewer system resources.

• They run a complete operating system including the kernel.

• They do not require a complete operating system.

• They only run the user mode portion of the operating system.

What type of storage is used for local storage in Azure for containers?

• Azure files

• SMB file share

• Azure disks

• Virtual hard disk

How do containers handle a cluster node failure?

• Containers are permanently lost.

• Containers are manually restarted.

• Containers are rapidly recreated by the orchestration service.

• Containers do not require any action.
