| ## BodhiZazen - I added external links to my blog. ## Sorry about that, but it is the best I can do at the moment ... ## stlsaint-making plans to transcribe blog instructions here! ## As I get a little more experience under my belt, ## and assuming the feedback goes well I plan to transcribe the blog pages here. ## ## If anyone with more experience would like to add to or comment on this information - feel free ## ## If anyone wishes to help transcribe / organize the information from my blog, again - feel free ## ## I am going to suggest breaking this documentation effort into 4 pages : ## 1. LXC Overview page. ## 2. LXC - Host configuration. ## 3. LXC - Container configuration. ## 4. LXC - Running a single process - This is more difficult then a container. ||<tablestyle="float:right; font-size: 0.9em; width:40%; background:#F1F1ED; margin: 0 0 1em 1em;" style="padding:0.5em;"><<TableOfContents(2)>>|| |

| * Upstream libvirt support LXC. * KVM + LXC can function properly on same host. * LXC inside KVM works properly on same host. * LXC take advantage of KMS feature of new Kernels. * 64bit OS using a 32bit container. * LXC works well with btrfs. * No special hardware required. * No patch is required to the kernel, since LXC is already integrated into the Kernel. * OpenVZ Containers run on LXC, only Config modification required. == User case examples == 1. Isolate single processes, (I.E. a webserver). 1. VPS 1. LTSP 1. Software build, testing, upgrading (think sandboxing) |
Ubuntu ships with the latest version of LXC and is very active in the upstream development of LXC and the containers capabilities in the kernel. |

Overview
LinuX Containers (LXC) provide lightweight virtualization that lets you isolate processes and resources without the need to provide instruction interpretation mechanisms and other complexities of full virtualization.
Ubuntu ships with the latest version of LXC and is very active in the upstream development of LXC and the containers capabilities in the kernel.
The best documentation available at the moment for LXC can be found in the Server Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/lxc.html
