Clear Containers vs LXC: What are the differences?

What is Clear Containers? Use the isolation of virtual-machine technology along with the deployment benefits of containers. We set out to build Clear Containers by leveraging the isolation of virtual-machine technology along with the deployment benefits of containers. As part of this, we let go of the "generic PC hardware" notion traditionally associated with virtual machines; we're not going to pretend to be a standard PC that is compatible with just about any OS on the planet.

What is LXC? Linux containers. LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers.

Clear Containers and LXC belong to "Virtual Machine Platforms & Containers" category of the tech stack.

Clear Containers and LXC are both open source tools. LXC with 2.66K GitHub stars and 797 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Clear Containers with 421 GitHub stars and 57 GitHub forks.
