Linux Container (LXC) (lex-see)
- is a program which creates and administers “containers” on a local system
- is a system-level container virtualization method for running multiple isolated Linux systems on a control host using a single Linux kernel
- is very much like a virtual machine, but significantly lighter weight since it is sharing the host kernel with the LXC host. It does not require the disk space or other resources as full VMs
- is a subset of LXD
