Since containers share the same kernel , a kernel exploit could potentially break out of the container although I haven ' t ever seen such a major kernel exploit . VMs are also useful for hosting other operating systems for example , a Windows or FreeBSD VM can run on Linux or hosting a Linux VM that uses a totally different kernel . Containers are good if you want to run Linux guests on a Linux host . They have extremely low overhead , to the point where there ' s negligible difference between the performance of an LXC container compared to performance on the host itself . VMs have higher overhead as they emulate hardware such as the network card , whereas LXC directly uses the host ' s hardware . Both are very common in the wild . When looking at VPS providers , you may see some that offer OpenVZ which is containerization , while others offer KVM or Xen which is virtualizationThe kernel components of both KVM and LXC are included as part of the mainline Linux kernel . This means you don ' t have to manually install any kernel modules to use them , you just need to install the userspace apps . You could try both and see which one you like the best D
