Are there only 2 types of Cloud container- federated and shared. What does it take to setup a cloud container. Is it always good choice to setup cloud container instead of data center?
By cloud container i understand it is for larger setup, but i find some documentations only the mention of data center and not the cloud container.

Containers hold the components necessary to run application files, environment variables and libraries, and because the host OS also constrains the container’s access to physical resources (e.g., CPU and memory), a single container cannot consume all of a host’s physical resources. Instead, multiple isolated systems, “containers” run on a single control host and access a single kernel.

Cloud Containers are just a term to describe virtual environments like an LXC or OpenVZ created containers. These are light weight and much more efficient than VMs.
