'''LXC''' ('''LinuX Containers''') is an [[operating system–level virtualization]] method for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a single control host.
 
The [[Linux kernel]] comprises [[cgroups]] for resource isolation (CPU, memory, block I/O, network, etc.) that does not require starting any [[virtual machine]]s. Cgroups also provides [[namespace isolation]] to completely isolate application's view of the operating environment, including process trees, network, user ids and mounted file systems.
 
LXC combines cgroups and namespace support to provide an isolated environment for applications. [[Docker (software)|Docker]] can also use LXC as one of its execution drivers, enabling image management and providing deployment services.
