Linux Containers LXD vs. OpenVZ

Linux Containers LXD works very well when you, as a software developer using Linux, need to spin up a development environment to build and work on a specific piece of software. For example, you need to build some software that is tested and developed target Ubuntu 18.04. You're able to quickly create a container for Ubuntu 18.04 and log into it to run commands and build your software. This is easier to do than setting a virtual machine - e.g - via Virtual Box, but is a lot clunkier than doing it via Docker containers which give you a much more flexible configuration of the environment and are easier to start, stop, connect and share with other developers.

If you are considering to use Docker and Kubernetes then you can give a try to OpenVZ and Proxmox. It is a good alternative and it is as good as Docker and Kubernetes

• GIT repositories.
• Authentication servers.
• Application instances.

Incentivized

• It is container-based virtualization
• It is not resource-heavy
• It is better then KVM

Incentivized

• Ease of use.
• Copying containers from one machine to another.
• Creation of containers with config files similar to Docker.

Incentivized

• Since it is a container-based solution, you can't run any other OS, except for Linux
• It is not so popular as Docker, but it's not that bad

Linux Containers LXD feels like a more primitive version of docker, docker-compose and similar projects from the docker ecosystem. The Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml methods of specifying a container setup, as well as the network and file configurations afforded by Docker make working with containers much easier and more reproducible than with Linux Containers LXD.

Kubernetes and Docker are de-facto standards today, but I think that OpenVZ and Proxmox are better solutions

• Save workload.
• Save time.

• It's free, so you can try it and figure out if it suited for your needs
