(James Bottomley, Parallels)Containers have seen a lot of excitement in recent months, particularly with the advent of docker. This talk will describe some of the history of containers in Linux, starting with the first implementation in 1999, where we are today with container unification, which is largely complete in the kernel, but which has some way to go in userspace and how, with the advent of libcontainer as a unifying feature for all Linux container projects, how we might both unify the control planes of all Linux containers as well as expose novel features that facilitate the next generation of containerised applications.
