How is application isolation and management implemented in containers?

Isolation and management of applications in containers are implemented using technologies such as Docker, which utilize OS kernel features (e.g., cgroups and namespaces in Linux).

• Namespaces provide process, network, filesystem, and resource isolation, creating a separate space for each container.
• cgroups limit and control resource usage (CPU, memory, disk) by containers.

Containers are launched as separate processes with isolated environments, allowing multiple applications to run on a single host without conflicts.

Container management is performed through orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes), which automate deployment, scaling, and monitoring of applications.
