How far are we from running distributions inside containers?
This proposal has been accepted as a session.
One Line Summary
Let's discuss the missing kernel functionality for running Linux distributions inside containers
Abstract
Efforts are being made to improve the level of virtualization provided by containers to userland programs.
A partial list of non-fully-virtualized subsystems that have been discussed on the containers list or in conferences during the recent year:
- audit
- syslog
- binder
- fuse
- iptables
- binfmt_misc
- input
- sysfs
We would like to discuss the main pain points of people trying to run distributions or complex applications inside containers.
What virtualization is best achieved by containers manager in userspace and which essential bits should be provided by the kernel?
