Hello everyone,
I have a working PoC for an LXC addon and quite a few questions on
how to proceed further.
In the actual state the driver has the following limitations:
* It only works with the LVM datastore,
* Couldn't find a way to transform user/system CPU time in percentage
so the poll action returns 1 (hardcoded) for USEDCPU.
For now the VMM driver responds to the following actions:
* deploy
* shutdown
* cancel
* reset
* reboot
* poll
I have used the lxc tools to manipulate containers and some
functionalities are not yet available. For example the reboot and reset
actions basically do stop/start. And the shutdown one doesn't do a clean
shutdown.
I have developed the drivers to work on Debian Wheezy. Among the lxc
tools there is lxc-attach, which runs a command inside the container.
Unfortunately the stable kernel doesn't support that but the
experimental one does. See Debian bug #595920 [1].
Using lxc-attach, the shutdown operation could be executed cleanly. I am
about to test the experimental kernel, 3.8, in the near future. I am
also thinking of using lxc-attach for contextualization.
I have quite a few questions about how to continue and some notes
about the template passed to the vmm driver.
If your offer, Jaime, of doing a Hangout is still available I would like
to discuss them over there. After that we could write a report back to
the mailing list for people who couldn't attend. What do you think about
this?
The next step I am going to do is to implement the same functionalities
using libvirt.

Carlo, I am trying to understand how these two would fit together.
OpenNebula would deal with setting up storage, network and CPU/RAM
resources for dockers? I would really appreciate it if you could be a
little bit more specific.
