In this video, a ServerFlow expert will discuss the differences between virtualization and containerization in the context of Proxmox. We'll explain when to use virtual machines (VMs) and when to use containers, highlighting performance differences, migration challenges, and security considerations.

This video will provide insight into the practical application of LXC and KVM, helping our audience understand the best use cases for each technology.

Throughout the video, we'll reach several key conclusions:
Virtual machines create a fully virtualized environment
Containers share the host machine's kernel and resources
LXC container performance is generally higher than KVM
Migrating containers can lead to licensing issues
VMs are recommended for hardware-bound software
Security risks with virtualization are lower than with containerization
