Re: [Libvir] [RFC] Add Container support to libvirt
Hi,
How do you plan to maintain VM states across base machine reboots. I
mean just as Xen uses XenStore and OpenVZ uses config files to
"remember" VM configs? Are there tools being developed to do that?
As I see it the container infrastructure is going into 2.6.24 as a
generic UNIXish mechanism. It is well integrated into the kernel. So
I'm really wondering if there are generic tools going to be available
to manage the configuration of containers.
I don't know if it is a good idea to use libvirt's XML files
themselves for container config and start containers during libvirtd
start-up. I'm just thinking aloud here. What was your plan?

Shuveb,
Thanks!
The application tag is intended to be used to specify one or executables
or scripts to run in the container. For simple cases where there is
only one or a few things to be started in the container, they could be
specified with this tag. Otherwise, it would point to an initialization
script that would take care of starting the appropriate items for the
container.
