Docker Containers vs. Traditional VMs for Development

[ScrumMeeting]

I'm diving into some personal projects and considering whether to use Docker containers instead of traditional VMs. Those who have used both, what are your thoughts on ease of use, performance, and resource efficiency? Any tips for a beginner looking into containerization?

When comparing Docker containers to traditional VMs, ease of use is often cited as a major benefit with containers being lighter and faster. In terms of performance, containers are also typically faster and use fewer resources compared to VMs. As a beginner, start with understanding the basic concepts of Docker, explore different use cases, and experiment with containerizing simple applications to gain hands-on experience.
