Unlike a virtual machine, which includes all of the operating system files, a container only includes the application files and its dependencies. Whereas virtual machines can be 20 or more gigabytes in size, a container hosting an application may only be tens or hundreds of megabytes in size. Containers are also non-persistent. They host everything needed to run the application, but data still needs to be stored elsewhere, such as in a database or some other form of persistent storage.
