This Patch added a unique application identifier i.e

I'm not sure it makes sense to introduce custom IDs for these given that
there already are unique per-host cgroup IDs which aren't recycled.
Thanks.
If the VM moves to a different host, does the per-host cgroup IDs
migrate with the VM ? If not, we need to have an identifier that moves
with the VM and which is independent of what host the VM is residing on.
Hello James,
Is it possible to reuse VM's mac address or other unique ID for such purpose?
None of these are guaranteed to be either present or unique.
It's not uncommon to have VMs with more than one MAC address, and any
other unique identifier like system UUID is not required to be present.
Cheers,
Hannes
