Docker vs virtual machines: which is better for isolation and ops?

The question is about Docker .

Answer:

Virtual machines (VMs) provide stronger isolation, OS-level security, and process separation, making them well suited to multi-tenant or multi-team environments - each VM is a stand-alone OS instance. Docker containers are lighter and better suited to rapid Ops tasks, but they share the host system and don’t offer VM-level separation.
