FreeBSD publishes quarterly status report |
 |
The FreeBSD project has published its quarterly news letter which includes status updates and an overview of progress being made by the project. The latest report include information on desktop environments being updated, tools for tracking changes to the project's ports collection, and information on a new container manager called Vessel. "The goal of vessel is to expose the many powerful features of FreeBSD to application developers. Vessel accomplishes this goal by: Providing a "Docker-like" interface familiar to most application developers for building, running, publishing and pulling container images. Tightly integrating with FreeBSD system level interfaces (kqueue process tracing, signal handling, devd.seqpacket, rctl, cpuset) to manage running jails.
How is Vessel different from other jail management systems? There are some awesome jail management systems already. These existing systems do a great job of configuring the jail runtime environment (ZFS dataset, networking, resource control, etc). After the environment is configured though, it is just handed off to the jail program via an exec call. In addition to jail configuration and creation, Vessel aims to take the next step and implement an event loop to manage jails based on system events. An instance of vessel runs alongside each jail to assist with management. This allows "Fat Jails" and single process jails to run in the foreground and be managed by the vessel-supervisor." |
