Funnily enough I view it the other way around. LXC is a bit overkill, I just wanted to run a container, not an entire VM. In my mind you need to treat LXC containers as VMs, in terms of managements. They need to be patched, monitored and maintained the same ways as a VM. Docker containers still need to patched of cause, many seems to forget that bit, but generally they seem easier to deal with. Of cause that depends on what has been stuffed into the container image. LXC is underrated though, for small projects and business it can be a great alternative to VM platforms.
