Linux Containers

Linux Containers (LXC) are lightweight, isolated environments that run applications as if they are on separate computers, but they share the same underlying Linux system. Think of them as individual compartments within a single house, each with its own tools and setup, yet sharing the house's core structure. This allows multiple applications to run independently, efficiently using resources, and without impacting each other. Containers streamline development, testing, and deployment, providing flexibility similar to virtual machines but with less overhead, making them ideal for managing multiple applications securely and efficiently on a single system.
