Hi folks! At OLPC, I got an early chance to use and abuse systemd, and I like it quite a bit.
We currently have ~500 identical VMs (created from kickstarts, kept almost in sync via satellite), each hosts apache/mysql daemons, and 2 installs of the same PHP webapp (production, test). Goal is to reduce the number of VMs radically, as memory and storage overheads are killing us. I am now looking at systemd (under F-19, RHEL7 later) and wondering whether there are any recipes that can guide me a bit through setting up webapps in CGs with suitable namespaces. What I _think_ I need is 0 - one target per "customer", which in turn pulls in 1 - apache 2 - mysql 3 - cronjobs 4 - apache/tomcat/java setup {for some customers} 5 - sftp -- namespace-aware? with 1,2 and 3 set to use the same CG. And stopping the target should ensure all the CG is down/dead. If possible, I prefer to avoid containers (and the associated chroot maintenance). High on the list of goals is to protect customers from data leakage, so guidelines towards effective use of namespaces are sought here. Pointers, hints, anyone else working in a similar direction? cheers, martin ps: I have read all/most of LWN and Lennart's articles, but welcome a gentle pointer if relevant... -- martin.langh...@gmail.com - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first ~ http://docs.moodle.org/en/User:Martin_Langhoff _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
