LXC combines the kernel's cgroups and support for isolated namespaces to provide an isolated environment for applications. [4] Early versions of Docker used LXC as the container execution driver, [4] though LXC was made optional in v0.9 and support was dropped in Docker v1.10. [5] [6]
OS-level virtualization is an operating system (OS) virtualization paradigm in which the kernel allows the existence of multiple isolated user space instances, including containers (LXC, Solaris Containers, AIX WPARs, HP-UX SRP Containers, Docker, Podman), zones (Solaris Containers), virtual private servers (), partitions, virtual environments (VEs), virtual kernels (DragonFly BSD), and jails ...
Container - This somewhat generic container format is specifically packaged for Proxmox (as tar.gz) (and formerly OpenNode too). These builds can be downloaded direct within Proxmox's WebUI [5] (and formerly via OpenNode's interface [6]). The tar.gz archive is also known to work with both vanilla OpenVZ and LXC with minimal tweaking. Xen; Docker
Docker is a set of platform as a service (PaaS) products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. [5] The service has both free and premium tiers. The software that hosts the containers is called Docker Engine. [6] It was first released in 2013 and is developed by Docker, Inc. [7]
Various container software use Linux namespaces in combination with cgroups to isolate their processes, including Docker [17] and LXC. Other applications, such as Google Chrome make use of namespaces to isolate its own processes which are at risk from attack on the internet. [18] There is also an unshare wrapper in util-linux. An example of its ...
Indirectly through other software that uses cgroups, such as Docker, Firejail, LXC, [19] libvirt, systemd, Open Grid Scheduler/Grid Engine, [20] and Google's developmentally defunct lmctfy. The Linux kernel documentation contains some technical details of the setup and use of control groups version 1 [ 21 ] and version 2.
Container clusters need to be managed. This includes functionality to create a cluster, to upgrade the software or repair it, balance the load between existing instances, scale by starting or stopping instances to adapt to the number of users, to log activities and monitor produced logs or the application itself by querying sensors.
The CPU scheduler in OpenVZ is a two-level implementation of fair-share scheduling strategy.On the first level, the scheduler decides which container it is to give the CPU time slice to, based on per-container cpuunits values. On the second level the standard Linux scheduler decides which process to run in that container, using standard Linux ...
