Linux Plumbers Conf 2013

One Line Summary

Abstract

Hot Issues to sort out:

• Now that the kernel supports both LXC and OpenVZ do we really need two different tool sets? If not, how should we unify the user visible container control plane.
• If we’re unifying the control plane, should we consider combining the projects? The containers we orchestrate are different, but they’re both using the same in-kernel functionality now.

Currently we have lxc tools (lxc) and OpenVZ tools (vzctl etc), plus libcgroup and systemd(?).
