Description

Added two visual diagrams to the "What is a container?" concepts page
to help users visualize the core concepts.

  • Added a container architecture diagram showing frontend, backend,
    and database containers running side by side, each with an isolated
    filesystem, all sharing the host OS kernel
  • Added a containers vs VMs comparison diagram highlighting that
    containers share the host kernel with no Guest OS overhead
