LXC
`Linux Containers <https://linuxcontainers.org/>`_
Container
A container is an isolated system with a separate root file system and
operating system userland. The containers share a common operating system
kernel.
LVM
Logical volume manager. The LVM allows to allocate space on block
devices more dynamically than with traditional partitions. The block
devices are managed as physical volumes (PVs) that are grouped in volume
groups (VGs). Space can be allocated as logical volumes (LVs) that can be
formatted using regular file system tools. LVs can be resized without
reboot. LVM provides snapshot functionality that is useful for backup and
upgrade procedures.
