When should you use Docker container or a virtual machine?

Question

Can anyone tell me when should you use a Docker container or a virtual machine?

Answer 1

You should use Docker containers for situations when we need to run multiple applications over a single operating system kernel. But, if you have applications or servers that you want to run on different operating system then you should use virtual machines.
