EXPERIMENT 10
Title To study and Implement Containerization using Docker
Pre requisite Virtualization concept
Mapping with CO CSL605.6
Objective To differentiate between virtualization and containerization with the help of
docker installation and configuration.
Outcome To install and configure docker in Linux machine for hosting a python web
app.
Instructions 1. Differences between Virtual Machine and Container should be
written in tabular format
2. Clear screenshots should be used and every screenshot should be
numbered and labelled.
Deliverables 1. Write the differences between Virtual Machine and Container

Conclusion Containerization using Docker enhances application deployment by providing
a lightweight, portable, and scalable environment. It simplifies development,
ensures consistency across platforms, and improves resource efficiency.
