GCP Cloud Digital Leader Practice Question

During an application modernization initiative, your team considers replacing existing virtual machines with containers. Which statement best explains how containers differ from VMs in a way that can increase compute density and reduce startup time?

  • Both virtual machines and containers embed their own complete guest operating system; containers simply use a smaller Linux distribution.

  • Virtual machines always run directly on bare-metal servers, whereas containers can run only inside a virtual machine layer.

  • Containers share the host OS kernel, isolating applications in user space without requiring a separate guest operating system for each workload.

  • Containers give applications direct access to physical hardware and therefore eliminate the need for any operating system layer.
