The main difference between Docker and virtual machines is how they virtualize resources. Docker uses containerization, sharing the host operating system kernel, making it lightweight, faster, and more resource-efficient. Virtual machines virtualize hardware, require separate operating systems, use more resources, and have slower startup times.
