What is LXC?
The Linux Containers project (LXC) is an open source container platform that includes a variety of tools, templates, libraries, and language bindings. LXC features a straightforward command line interface that enhances the user experience while launching containers.
LXC provides an operating-system level virtualization environment that may be installed on various Linux-based systems. It’s possible that your Linux distribution has it in its package repository.
What’s a Linux Container?
The Linux container includes one or more processes that are isolated from the rest of the system. All of the files required to run them are provided by a separate image, ensuring that Linux containers are portable and consistent as they go from development to testing and ultimately to production. This makes them far faster to utilize than development pipelines that rely on creating traditional testing environments. Because of their popularity and ease of use, containers play an essential role in IT security.
