It is common to plant bamboo in containers. Containerised bamboo is considered a very fashionable accessory in your garden here in Britain.
For example, here is an article on it:

They are more work than bamboos grown in the ground. Some varieties are more suitable than others.
If you were thinking of sinking the wooden barrel into the ground as long term containment for bamboo in a shrub border, that probably wouldn't be the best way of doing it.
