Description

This ticket is used to track adding LXC support in Cloudstack.

Summary:

Linux Containers (LXC) is a lightweight system virtualization that uses resource isolation instead of the hardware emulation approach used by KVM and Xen. For users who do not require full OS virtualization as provided by KVM and Xen, container technologies such as LXC provide an attractive performant solution for virtualization.

Cloudstack currently does not support containers such as LXC and OpenVZ.
