You could pretty much s/SELinux/Linux VServer/ that comment and it would still be valid :-).
The classification engine for a Linux-VServer.net kernel would be a piece of cake, alright. Is there a dummy/skeleton resource classifier that I could use as a base?
- Jamal Hadi is interested in investigating the use of CKRM along with vservers to make virtual routers. His requirements, broadly speaking, are : accurate accounting of irqs for routed packets, ability to launch 500-1000 vservers and have them performance isolated from each other. Vivek spoke to Jamal in detail and can list the requirements better. On the whole, it looks like his needs are very similar to that of PlanetLab (one privileged domain used to create others), fault isolation would be nice but not essential etc.
Oh, dear - how many different meanings of the word "vserver" are there? To compound matters, one project is pretty much the logical inverse of the other ;-).
Hmm, you could cluster some systems with 2.6 vserver, then allocate seperate UNIX contexts inside via Linux-Vserver.net, managing resources on the cluster with CKRM. Then all it would need is some kind of checkpointing mechanism, and you could have transparent Tandem-class redundant systems on a pile of cheap x86 boxes! :-D
Roll-your-own HA blade-like systems based on low-power, cheap as chips Mini-ITX boards anyone?
