[lxc-users] LXC Stability Question

[AT]

Hi everyone,

I am VERY new to the LXC tools, though not to similar technologies such as Solaris Zones, or FreeBSD jails.  


Being new to LXC, I have been reading up on various posts around the web: some time back I read an Oracle blog stating that combining different versions of Linux distributions, in different containers, can crash the kernel, if one of the containers experiences a crash.  Linux-Containers — Part 1: Overview (OTN Garage)

This posting is from 2013, but can anyone talk about stability of LXC in general? I by no means want to start a war etc., but technologies such as FreeBSD Jails or Solaris Zones are pretty well-understood, and have been in use for many years in real production settings.  Generally, it is agreed (at least in theory and I've never heard cases stating otherwise) that any Jail or Zone which crashes will not bring down the host-OS.  


Apologies in advance if I just need to be pointed to previous mailing list discussions, any info appreciated.  I just joined the list a few days ago, and this is my first post.
