I’m not sure what Systemd version they’ll end up shipping though.
The best part about Systemd is that the default framework for launching and monitoring services is essentially LXC without the padding (extra PID0 etc). This means every service can benefit and there’s no need for the unnecessary abstraction (the container) and all the (mental not necessary performance) overhead that goes with it.
Needless to say, I’m quite excited about what is happening on Linux nowadays :)
- rwmj 13y agoLooks like systemd 207.
- andor 13y agosystemd-nspawn isn't recommended for production use. I can't tell you why that is, but if you search for it, you'll find a few places where Lennart Poettering recommends libvirt-lxc for deployment (which is completely unrelated to the other "LXC" project). This means every service can benefit and there’s no need for the unnecessary abstraction Of course you could run software on bare metal ;-) But containers are a nice way to ship whole projects including the dependencies. Especially if you deploy to lots of machines.
