DESCRIPTION:Containers and virtual machines are both central to modern clou
 d infrastructure but have fundamentally different security boundaries by d
 esign. Virtual machines (VMs) provide better isolation\, but can be more c
 umbersome and less portable. Containers have become the common choice for 
 workloads due to their flexibility and lightweight footprint\, but their s
 ecurity properties are often misunderstood or oversimplified. MicroVMs cha
 llenge this tradeoff by providing container-like minimal environments with
  VM-grade isolation.\n\nIn this talk\, we’ll start with a security-focus
 ed comparison of containers and traditional VMs\, and then we’ll dive in
 to microVMs and how their design allows them to reduce overhead while pres
 erving hardware-backed isolation.\n\nAttendees will leave with a better un
 derstanding of the tradeoffs between containers and virtual machines and h
 ow that knowledge can impact infrastructure design choices.
