Red Hat only sees containers for applications and they are favoring strongly Docker. Among the many guides released with RHEL7 was one entitled, "Resource Management and Linux Containers" (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Resource_Management_and_Linux_Containers_Guide/index.html). It does have a section on LXC containers but they really don't go into it too much. Canonical is the main lead on LXC containers... so maybe they have some documentation? If you want to containerize applications, then Docker might be the way to go. If you want a full-blown container (complete distro with independent accounts, networking, services, etc) then OpenVZ is the way to go. OpenVZ is a third-party patch to the kernel that will never get into the mainline kernel so you have to use an OpenVZ-provided kernel (their stable branches are based on RHEL-kernels) and utils. They have EL5 and EL6-based kernels... and are working on an EL7-based one but no date on when that will be released. I'm a big OpenVZ user (since 2005) so if you have questions, feel free to email me directly if desired... or find me in #openvz on freenode during MST business hours.
