How is this related to the Tizen multi-user environment?
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jan Olszak Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 2:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dev] Linux Containers on Tizen Hi there! We would just like to let you know, that we started working on containers for Tizen. The idea is to use containers (cgroups + namespaces) and a bunch of our code to create the ultimate isolation mechanism. Inside the container we start systemd, services, even separate X server and apps have to be installed explicitly inside a container. This way we get several Tizen-guests running on one Tizen-host - almost as if we had many devices running on one physical device. Why so serious? The point of this pseudo virtualization is to prevent any kind of attack between apps running on different Tizen-guests. First of all we could use this to isolate business applications from the possibly untrusted private ones (or the other way around - depends on the perspective :) The second example is a guest container - you can press a magic button and give the mobile to your kid without any risk. So far we use the magnificent Libvirt for managing containers, we managed to start Systemd (though we're struggling with the user namespace) and switch between working Tizens with just a click of a button (yes, it's fast). Thanks! Jan Olszak
