This document discusses Linux containers (LXC), which provides operating system-level virtualization. It allows multiple isolated Linux systems to run on a single host. LXC offers advantages like being lightweight, providing comprehensive process and resource isolation, and allowing for rapid deployment. The document outlines basic LXC usage like creating, starting, and stopping containers. It also covers more advanced topics such as unprivileged containers, cloning and snapshots, networking configurations, and example applications for LXC.
