LXC V-Server:
- LXC stands for "Linux Containers" and is an operating system-level virtualization technology.
- LXC V-Servers share the host operating system kernel but have separate isolated user environments.
- They offer good performance and resource efficiency because they do not require a hypervisor and have less overhead.
- LXC V-Servers are generally more cost-effective than KVM root servers because they require fewer resources.
- They are well suited for applications with less specific requirements where complete insulation is not required.
KVM Root-Server:
- KVM stands for "Kernel-based Virtual Machine" and is a hardware virtualization technology.
- KVM root servers emulate a complete hardware environment and thus provide greater isolation between virtual machines.
- Each KVM root server has its own complete operating system kernel and can support different operating systems.
- They offer greater flexibility and scalability because they have dedicated resources and can support applications with higher requirements.
- KVM root servers offer more control over the server configuration and allow you to load custom kernel modules and install specific operating systems.
The choice between an LXC V-Server and a KVM root server depends on your specific requirements and budget:
- If you need a cost-effective solution with good performance and less specific requirements, an LXC V-Server can be a good choice.
- If you need greater isolation, flexibility and scalability, or want to make specific operating system or kernel customizations, a KVM root server is the better option.
