# Infrastructure containers

## Infrastructure containers

Infrastructure containers offer all the services you'd expect of a unix host, but running on bare metal.

### [Security](/instances/infrastructure-containers.md#security) <a href="#security" id="security"></a>

All bare metal containers on Triton enjoy security and performance isolation that exceeds that offered by hardware virtual machines.

### [Elasticity](/instances/infrastructure-containers.md#elasticity) <a href="#elasticity" id="elasticity"></a>

Containers allow unparalleled elasticity, scaling from instances as small as 256 megabytes of RAM to over 200GB with 48 VCPUs.
