LXC is still in a very early stage of development in the kernel itself, so we're being cautious about telling people to use it in the real world. For example, there is no user id / group id namespace separation between the host and container. This has some security implications in certain deployment scenarios. I would say LXC is just starting to be useful for experimentation & developer usage, but not yet production deployment. We of course also need to improve the tools support like virt-manager, but also the tools for creating chroot based environments of distros, since this deployment model is very different from the kernel/initrd boot done with full machine virtualization Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://deltacloud.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
