LXC is a lightweight virtualization method that provides operating system-level virtualization optional to an heavy full virtual machine. It relies on the Linux kernel cgroups functionality that became available in version 2.6.24, It provides a virtual environment that has its own process and network space. This option makes the perfect option for deploying several contained Drupal dev environments independent of the distribution. Vagrant 1.1+ lxc plugin allows it to control and provision Linux Containers as an alternative to the built in (and heavy) Vagrant VirtualBox provider for Linux hosts.

Deploy and develop on Drupal with LXC, using Vagrant.
Takes about 2 minutes to have a full running Drupal development box.

Developer will get a running box with:
Drupal (latest version)
Nginx
Php + php-fpm
Mysql
Phpmyadmin
xhprof
xdebug
composer
