Linux containers run using the same Linux kernel of the host (machine, virtual machine, cloud server, etc). This just means that they are very lightweight (compared to full virtual machines emulating an entire operating system).

This way, containers consume **little resources**, an amount comparable to running the processes directly (a virtual machine would consume much more).
