When to Use Which?

Use LXC (1000-2502) for:

• Production
• Long-term deployment
• Need isolation
• Individual scaling

Use VM (9000) for:

• Testing/development
• Quick validation
• Limited resources
• Temporary setup

Migration

# Migrate from VM (9000) to LXC (1000-2502)
sudo ./scripts/deployment/deploy-besu-nodes.sh
sudo ./scripts/migration/migrate-vm-to-lxc.sh /opt/smom-dbis-138
qm stop 9000
