Is LXC suitable for intensive applications of 24-hour active processes?

Hi. I have done some code for h24 video transcoding processes running in Debian container..

My question is..
LXC is suitable for intensive applications running for months and months with active processes like ffmpeg intensive CPU consumption? Will proxmox cut some processes after some amount of times.. or limit it also because some resource can be asked from others lxc or VPS?

If yes, how to avoid it? Thank you

No, the processes inside a container are not really different from the kvm process for VMs and other Proxmox processes. It's all Linux under the hood, which is known for its suitability for 24/7 enterprise servers. What made you questions this?

Thank you!
My question was made because the video processing is "mission critical" .. it will process live video of events with video signal from television broadcast cameras.. and looking the CPU unit field in the hardware options.. was generated in me the question.. why this setup option?!

Why put an additional layer of possible failures like Proxmox in between? If you want a "mission critical" support level agreement, I suggest you get a support subscription: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/p...ptions-and-why-everybody-should-buy-one.9244/

I need to buy a basic hardware first

First, you need to define what mission critical means for you.

In my book, it means at least high availability and therefore LX(C) containers cannot be used, because you need live migration to other nodes of the cluster, which is only possible with KVM/QEMU VMs.

Oooh! Lxc containers doesn't support live migration?!!!!!???

No, they are just processes on the host and cannot be live migrated. This only works for QEMU and therefore should be the way to go.
