One Line Summary

In this talk I'll cover the ways we use checkpoint restore in LXD, as well as some challenges we face.

Abstract

In this talk I’ll cover the various ways that we use checkpoint restore in LXD (migration, stateful container snapshots, etc.). One of the challenges we face is managing how CRIU is invoked: in some cases we absolutely want the container to migrate, and “small problems” can cause it to fail. In other cases, we want to fail if things don’t go exactly right. In this talk I’ll also ask for feedback on a mechanism in CRIU to collect these sorts of settings, so that all users of CRIU can benefit from this alternating behavior.
