By default, Linux container virtualization, LXC, is used because it is more flexible. If you want KVM virtualization, just contact us. The most important difference between KVM and LXC virtualization is that virtual machines require a separate kernel instance to run, while containers can be deployed from the host operating system. This significantly reduces the complexity of creating and maintaining containers. Furthermore, the reduced overhead allows you to create a large number of containers with faster startup and shutdown times. Learn more about the types of virtualization.
