The goal is to offer a distro and vendor neutral environment for the development of Linux container technologies. Our focus is providing containers and virtual machines that run full Linux systems.

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers.

Inside the container is where we really get a feeling for what a system container is and how it is like a lightweight virtual machine in many ways. The changes we make inside the container persist.

我们致力于提供运行完整 Linux 系统的容器和虚拟机。 虽然虚拟机可以提供完整的环境，但是系统容器可以尽可能接近虚拟机的环境，同时避免了运行独立内核和模拟硬件所带来的额外开销。

Incus provides support for system containers, application containers, and virtual machines. When running a system container, Incus simulates a virtual version of a full operating system.

This service allows you temporary access to a Linux system running in a virtual-machine hosted on a remote Incus cluster. By using the Incus demonstration server, you agree that:

Dec 13, 2024 · This is the last release for 2024 but it still packs a punch with a bunch of VM related improvements, including the ability to move a running VM between storage pools, a new …

The former can be thought as old-style containers, they're not safe at all and should only be used in environments where unprivileged containers aren't available and where you would trust your …

While the team behind Linux Containers regrets that decision and will be missing LXD as one of its projects, it does respect Canonical’s decision and is now in the process of moving the project over.
