>I'm still in the VM all the things camp.

I do both with deciding factor being whether it has internet exposure.

>VMs have the same cheapness for me

It's all kinda relative (ballooning etc), but from what I've seen LXC allows for much higher density. Lowest LXC I've got running is ~20MB used. Lowest VM is at 380MB. Both headless debians so vaguely comparable (though MQTT vs Wireguard).

Not much of a difference if you've got a 128gb server on hand, yet its nearly 20x so depending on perspective its either a big difference or doesn't matter.
