What is the main difference between containers and traditional simulators/emulators?
- Traditional simulators/emulators encapsulate applications and their dependencies.
- Traditional simulators/emulators share the host's kernel.
- Containers provide an isolated environment for running applications. (correct)
- Containers replicate an entire hardware system.
How do containers create a consistent environment for running applications?
How do containers create a consistent environment for running applications?
- By replicating the environment needed for applications. (correct)
- By providing direct access to physical hardware.
- By sharing the host's kernel.
