LXC containers
an LXC container is a type of virtualization environment made possible by namespace isolation of processes. Any program within a container still runs on the same (linux) kernel but knows about a different init (pid=0) process and cannot see processes from the host. LXC enables isolation of different resources and is mainly used for network and data access control.
