Description

LXC serves as a user-space interface that harnesses the Linux kernel's containment capabilities. It provides a robust API along with straightforward tools, enabling Linux users to effortlessly create and oversee both system and application containers. Often viewed as a hybrid between a chroot environment and a complete virtual machine, LXC aims to deliver an experience closely resembling a typical Linux installation without necessitating an independent kernel. This makes it an appealing option for developers needing lightweight isolation. As a free software project, the majority of LXC's code is distributed under the GNU LGPLv2.1+ license, while certain components for Android compatibility are available under a standard 2-clause BSD license, and some binaries and templates fall under the GNU GPLv2 license. The stability of LXC's releases is dependent on the various Linux distributions and their dedication to implementing timely fixes and security patches. Consequently, users can rely on the continuous improvement and security of their container environments through active community support.

Description

The Open Container Initiative (OCI) serves as an open governance framework aimed at developing industry-wide standards for container formats and runtimes. Launched on June 22, 2015, by Docker alongside other prominent figures in the container sector, the OCI encompasses two main specifications: the runtime specification (runtime-spec) and the image specification (image-spec). The runtime specification delineates the process for executing a "filesystem bundle" that has been extracted onto a disk. In practice, an OCI implementation would download an OCI Image, subsequently unpacking it into a corresponding OCI Runtime filesystem bundle. Following this, the OCI Runtime is responsible for executing the OCI Runtime Bundle. Additionally, the OCI operates as a lightweight governance project under the Linux Foundation, promoting transparency and collaboration within the container ecosystem. Its establishment marked a significant step forward towards unifying diverse container technologies and ensuring interoperability across platforms.
