Thank you for your explanation. It is most helpful. To summarise what I think is correct: One can run multiple LXC containers, each containing an identical version of the main host operating system but processes are separate from the others. KVM creates a type of 'container' allowing different host operating systems to run in that container. Can one run inside a LXC container a KVM ? Can one run inside a KVM some LXC containers ? Or is the simultaneous usage on the same machine of LXC and KVM mutually exclusive or incompatible ? Thank you again. -- With best regards, Paul.
