VM vs LXC ########## The main difference between the VMs and Containers is that virtual machines require their own kernel instance to run while containers share the same kernel. In other words, containers are virtualization at operating-system-level whereas VMs are virtualization at the hardware level. In virtual Machines each Guest OS will have its own Operating System and kernel. But in the case of LXC Containers the Guest OS will share the same OS of its Host machine. LXC vs Docker ############# LXC is a container technology that gives us the lightweight Linux containers and Docker is single application virtualisation which is based on top of the containerd Run time engine.. Thus even though based on container utilisation they may sound similar but they are completely different when it comes to usage. Unlike the lightweight LXC containers, docker does not tend to behave lightweight VM’s. Single application restriction of the docker is strictly by the design We can easily log o
