Docker container isolation mechanisms¶

Docker containers utilize operating system-level virtualization features, primarily [[Linux namespaces]], to achieve isolation of resources between the host and running containers, and between the containers themselves.^[原理及源码解析__README.md]

This isolation mechanism allows multiple containers to run simultaneously on a single host OS without conflicting with one another or seeing the host's processes and resources, distinguishing them from traditional virtual machines.^[原理及源码解析__README.md]
