About containers?

There's very useful documentation about them like
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LXC ...

What can I say?  Virtualization with xen is like juggling with a set of
black boxes each of which aren't exactly accessible; the
documentation sucks, it's hard work to get it running and likewise hard
to maintain.

Virtualization with containers is basically as simple as running just
another daemon.

Which the "better" tool, or combination of tools is, depends on what you
want to accomplish.  You could use containers in a VM, too, or use
virtualbox along with containers to run the odd VMs that require full
virtualzation.

might swallow us.  Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
