== Title == Linux Kernel Containers Developer Summit == Topic == Namespaces, containers, cgroups, resource management, and container checkpoint/restart. == Description == Development for namespaces and cgroups is well underway in the mainline kernel. To keep momentum going and keep the loosely knit teams of developers well-coordinated, a physical meeting in which to discuss future development plans is needed. Additionally, we are at a point where crucial decisions about the nature of a "container object" and about the checkpoint/restart design need to be made. A final set of topics will be decided upon through mailing lists ahead of time, but potential topics include: * Handling filesystem/namespace synchronization * Handling of /proc and /sysfs within containers * Additional needed namespaces (i.e. device namespace) * Nature of a 'container' -- kernel object or userspace fiction * Cgroup implementation * Additional cgroups and their design * Resource management * How to initiate and synchronize checkpoint/restart * How to enter a 'container' == Moderators == * Namespaces/containers: Serge Hallyn, Cedric Le Goater * Cgroups and resource management: Paul Menage, Balbir Singh * Checkpoint/restart: Dave Hansen, Cedric Le Goater == Expected Time Required == One day. == Number of Attendees == Approximately 30. == Technical Requirements == * Projector and screen * Whiteboard * Network access * Power for laptops * doughnuts and croissants for participants _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
