Linux container technology allows you to run multiple isolated Linux systems on a single control host. The primary benefit of using this technology is that containers are much more lightweight than virtual machines, making them more efficient and easier to manage. There are a number of different Linux container technologies available, but two of the most popular are LXC and LXD. In this article, we'll provide an overview of LXC and LXD, discuss the benefits of using these technologies, and explore some of the online courses that can help you learn more about them.
What is LXC?
LXC is a container technology that allows you to run multiple isolated Linux systems on a single control host. LXC containers are created using the Linux kernel's cgroups and namespace features, which allow you to control the resources that each container can access. This makes LXC containers very lightweight and efficient, as they only use the resources that they need.
What is LXD?
