The goal is to offer a distro and vendor neutral environment for the development of Linux container technologies. Our focus is providing containers and virtual machines that run full Linux systems.

Incus provides support for system containers, application containers, and virtual machines. When running a system container, Incus simulates a virtual version of a full operating system.

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers.

Inside the container is where we really get a feeling for what a system container is and how it is like a lightweight virtual machine in many ways. The changes we make inside the container persist.

我们致力于提供运行完整 Linux 系统的容器和虚拟机。 虽然虚拟机可以提供完整的环境，但是系统容器可以尽可能接近虚拟机的环境，同时避免了运行独立内核和模拟硬件所带来的额外开销。
