I know there was some discussion of this previously, and I wanted to point out this update
http://blog.docker.io/2013/11/docker-0-7-docker-now-runs-on-any-linux-distribution/ Interesting that the AUFS dependence is now not blocking things. Hopefully I'll get a chance to play with it in a few weeks in an HPC context, to see what the container performance cost is (if anything). Hopefully quite low. If someone has already done this, please post a link. This is an OS level virtual system. Not a hypervisor, or a paravisor, so it *should*, in theory, be lower latency. It looks like we can generate Docker files trivially from a machine specification in Tiburon, though we are very JSON centric these days. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics, Inc. email: land...@scalableinformatics.com web : http://scalableinformatics.com twtr : @scalableinfo phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 cell : +1 734 612 4615 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
