Linux Plumbers Conf 2013

One Line Summary

Abstract

This talk will present some of the work I’ve been doing to get LXC to run natively on Android, allowing the user to then start a standard Linux distro in a container without impacting Android.

I’ll also cover doing it the other way around, where we instead run Android in a container on a standard Linux distro and why that makes developing new phone operating systems much easier.

      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.
