LXC

LXC (Linux Containers) is a lightweight virtualization technology that allows multiple isolated computing environments, called containers, to run on a single Linux system. Unlike traditional virtual machines, containers share the host operating system's kernel, making them more efficient and faster to start. Each container operates independently, with its own files, processes, and network settings, providing a secure and flexible way to run multiple applications or services on one machine. LXC is commonly used for development, testing, and deploying applications in a consistent, resource-efficient manner.
