Linux containers

Linux containers is a generic term for an implementation of operating system-level virtualization for the Linux operating system. Currently, a number of such implementations exist, and they are all based on the virtualization, isolation, and resource management mechanisms provided by the Linux kernel, notably Linux namespaces and cgroups.[1] The term Linux containers may refer to one of the following technologies:

* Docker, first released on 13 March 2013; 13 years ago (2013-03-13)
* Linux-VServer
* lmctfy, initially developed by Google and released on 13 October 2013; 12 years ago (2013-10-13) and not actively developed since 2015.
* LXC (Linux Containers), first released on August 6, 2008; 17 years ago (2008-08-06)[2]
* LXD
* OpenVZ
