lxc-attach -> you directly get a root session inside the container, no
password asked. Similar to what you get if you have passwordless key-based
ssh setup.

lxc-console -> you get a virtual console for the container, complete with
its login screen. Similar to what you get if you have console setup (e.g.
using ILO, DRAC, whatever) to a real server. If you attach to console 0
(lxc-attach -t 0), you'll get to see all console messages during boot as
well.
