Two articles on containers

The developerWorks site has posted two detailed articles on Linux container technology. this overview by Matt Helsey looks at the LXC toolkit, while this article by Serge Hallyn focuses on security issues. "A common response when someone first hears about containers is 'How do I create a secure container?' This article answers that question by showing you how to use Linux Security Modules (LSM) to improve the security of containers. In particular, it shows you how to specify a security goal and meet it with both the Smack and SELinux security modules."
