Description
The usual containers and checkpoint/restore micro-conference.
We will be discussing recent advancements in container technologies with some of the usual candidates being:
- CGroupV2 feature parity with CGroupV1
- Emulation of various files and system calls through FUSE and/or Seccomp
- Dealing with the eBPF-ification of the world
- Making user namespaces more accessible
- VFS idmap improvements
On the checkpoint/restore front, some of the potential topics include:
- Restoring FUSE services
- Handling GPUs
- Dealing with restartable sequences
And quite likely a variety of other container and checkpoint/restore topics as things evolve between now and the event.
Past editions of this micro-conference have been the source of many developments in the Linux kernel, including:
- PIDfds
- VFS idmap
- FUSE in user namespace
- Unprivileged overlayfs
- Time namespace
- A variety of CRIU features and checkpoint/restore kernel interfaces
