1 LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features.
2 Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily
3 create and manage system or application containers.
5 Current LXC uses the following kernel features to contain processes:
7 - Kernel namespaces (ipc, uts, mount, pid, network and user)
8 - Apparmor and SELinux profiles
9 - Seccomp policies
10 - Chroots (using pivot_root)
11 - Kernel capabilities
12 - CGroups (control groups)
14 LXC containers are often considered as something in the middle between a
15 chroot and a full fledged virtual machine.
16 The goal of LXC is to create an environment as close as possible to a
17 standard Linux installation but without the need for a separate kernel.
