It /really/ is not, you know.

You might find the series of articles on container technologies on The
Register interesting, or the Amazon Kindle e-book "A Brief History of
Virtualisation".

Author, a chap called "Liam Proven". ;¬)

LXC is a container system, just like Docker.

Ubuntu's LXD is based on LXC and makes the containers look more like
VMs, with their own disks, network interfaces, etc., but it's still
containers underneath.
