Buildah vs LXC

Buildah is an open-source tool for building OCI and Docker container images without requiring a full container runtime daemon. It enables scriptable, rootless container image creation from Dockerfiles or shell commands.

LXC is linux container runtime that provides lightweight OS-level virtualization using the host kernel without a full hypervisor. It provides comprehensive features for virtualization workflows. The tool is actively maintained with regular updates and strong community/vendor support.
