====== Proxmox - Guests (VMs and Containers) ======

VMs are virtual machines powered by [[https://www.qemu.org/|QEMU]]:

  * Separate OS.
  * Completely separate kernel.
  * Completely isolated from the host OS.
  * Some additional overhead.
  * Devices such as GPUs, drives or USB controllers have to be passed in entirely.
  * Limited support for passing through single HDDs, but not recommended.

[[https://linuxcontainers.org/|LXC containers]]:

  * Share the same kernel as the host.
  * Less overhead.
  * Greater performance.
  * Constrained to only being Linux, but any distribution.
  * As LXC processes use the same kernel, it means sharing access to things like GPUs and storage is significantly easier, and with less overhead.
  * To access storage on the host, just bind mount it in with almost 0 overhead - No PCI pass-through necessary.
