If you keep your server running long enough, your free RAM will go towards zero pretty quickly whether you create a single VM on it or not. That's the way linux manages RAM - it puts it to good use, instead of keeping it empty.

In this particular case, I think you are misinterpreting the top output. 700000k was not used for a container.

If you look closely, you'll see that top output before starting the container shows "1661636k" as "cached" and top after starting the container shows "2302080k" as "cached".

I'm sure there are numerous articles on the internet on what this means and those will give you a much better and more detailed explanation than I could.
