LXC (Linux Containers)

LXC, or Linux Containers, is a technology that allows multiple isolated environments, called containers, to run on a single Linux operating system. Each container behaves like a separate computer, with its own applications and processes, but they share the underlying system resources, making them lightweight and efficient. This setup is useful for developers and system administrators because it simplifies deployment, scaling, and testing of applications without the overhead of traditional virtual machines. Essentially, LXC enables better resource utilization while keeping applications safely separated from one another.
