What is Container based hosting?

[rosestorm]

Containers are high level isolation, with many applications running under the host operating system, all of them sharing certain operating system libraries and the operating system's kernel

[raaj]

In my opinion, containers are the best choice if you're hosting your website on the webserver without any control panel. Container is faster then KVM vps for example.

Container Based Hosting is nothing but Virtual Private Servers, we can also called as Operating System Virtualization in which the virtualization layers run as an application within the operating system. The kernel of an operating system allows the existence of multiple isolated virtual machines, Such virtual machines are called as containers.

[farhandiesel]

container-based virtualization and application containerization -- is an OS-level virtualization methodology for deploying and running distributed applications while not launching a complete VM for every application. Instead, multiple isolated systems, referred to as containers, are run on one management host and access one kernel.

Thanks For Your Information.

[bidaddy]

can anybody give me more information about it ?

Containers are very different from simple hosting. This technology allows you to use more applications on a single server without the extra cost of more infrastructure.Containers keep an eye on traffic coming on your server. If your server starts getting more traffic that it can handle, then the container will automatically scale up. This mean container will automatically increase your server CPU numbers, RAM, Disk Space, etc.

I'd expect it to be cost neutral but you're paying for the aws management that comes with it. Don't. Spin up a small docker swarm on two (ideally three) hosts instead and use that. If you size the instances appropriately (t2 instances if you aren't already and can) then you can likely get more performant systems.

Container based hosting enabled multiple users to host applications in isolation to each other, those applications could be anything but hosting web servers was the primary use. The hosted environment looked like a complete working operating environment, it would have its own file system, network address, memory space, users and applications.

Container Based Hosting uses a run time engine which helps in scaling and connecting apps and data. It also helps in building of architecture which contains ideal deployment for each micro service and service mesh .

[juliarobert]

In computing, a container is an isolated user space in which computer programs run directly on the host operating system's kernel but have access to a restricted subset of its resources.

[Servers Base]

Organizations like Google which once ran a single Operating system on a hardware node now had the technology to run several instances of their operating systems in what was soon to be known as “containers”. This dramatically increased their available computer resources.

Container based hosting provide isolation through the container instances running inside a lightweight VM, which makes the product more of a system container.

Hyper-V containers provide isolation through the container instances running inside a lightweight VM, which makes the product more of a system container. The open source container orchestrator Kubernetes, created by Google, organizes containers into pods on nodes, which are the hosting resources.

containerization or container-based virtualization are packages that rely on virtual isolation to deploy and run applications that access a shared operating system (OS) kernel without the need for virtual machines (VMs).
