LXC 2.1 officially released, Linux container tool
The LXC project consists of a Linux kernel patch and some userspace tools. These userspace tools use the new kernel features added by the patch to provide a set of simplified tools to maintain the container.
LXC 2.1 has been released, which contains a number of new features introduced since LXC 2.0 was released.
Please note that this is not an LTS version, so the official team will only support LXC 2.1 for a year. The need to support longer-term production environments should be retained using LXC 2.0 until June 2021.
The main update of the version is as follows:
- Resource limit support
- New
lxc.cgroup.dirkey - Support for hybrid cgroup layout
- Limiting the number of ptys a container can allocate
- New log API extension
- Deprecation of
lxc-monitord lxc-copycreate snapshots ontmpfs
