Rui CarmoLXC (and LXD, its more recent variant, spearheaded by Canonical) is the oldest Linux container virtualization technology, predating Docker and providing a VM-like abstraction atop a shared kernel.
I’ve been using it for many, many years, and find it a great way to run sandboxes and test out VM instance automation without the overhead of KVM or a comparable hypervisor.
