What reviewers say

LXC for startups

5.0

“LXC being an open-source resource, it's convenient as we get a lot of usage/troubleshooting info on the internet. And has an interface familiar to developers working on top of Linux/Unix variants, which makes goto for engineers in startups.”

Senior Staff Engineer

LXC is a fantastic way to virtualize in a lean, efficient way.

4.0

“It's an effective way to have more isolated virtual containers on a server than most other virtualization approaches. With the feel of a full OS.”

Freelance Linux System Administrator

Great technology for virtualisation

4.0

“I'm using the lxc container for virtualisation since long and so far I liked it more then kvm/ libvert or any other virtualisation technology. Great tool. Hats off to the developers. Keep it up mates!”
