Container (Docker etc.) = kernel + necessary libraries from os + application
Orchestration Tool (Kubernetes) = Manager/Scheduler/Maintainer of containers, which can allocates resources for container and/or run/kill/scale containers.
I will try to give a simple explanation. I am not expert with these technologies.
Maybe you tried to write "Kubernetes", it's equal to "Composer" for PHP, Kubernetes run with Docker; and you have a great production of containers.
The software for Virtual Machines runs on a separate guest OS, and Docker run the images within the same OS Kernel. (other important difference it's Hypervisor vs Kernel)
