Description

LXC Linux Containers (LXC) is an operating system-level virtualization technology for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a single control host. LXC combines the kernel's cgroups and support for isolated namespaces to provide an isolated environment for applications. LXC enables an administrator to create multiple containers, each with its own resources, processes, users, and network interfaces, while avoiding the overhead of running multiple virtual machines. Each container can be used as a secure and isolated environment for running applications. LXC allows system administrators to quickly and easily deploy and manage containers without having to worry about the underlying system. It provides a user-friendly interface for creating, managing, and deploying containers, allowing administrators to quickly and easily deploy applications without having to worry about system configuration. LXC also offers enhanced security and performance, as each container operates in its own isolated environment, preventing the spread of malicious activity or system instability. Additionally, LXC provides the ability to quickly and easily scale up or down the number of containers running on the system, allowing for maximum flexibility.
