Application checkpoint/restart

Application checkpoint/restart in linux (linux-cr.org) provides the ability to checkpoint, restart, and migrate application and system containers. This provides a very lightweight mechanism for load-balancing in the cloud.

Actions:

• Create a ppa with the kernel and userspace packages needed to experiment with c/r
  • Create a project in lp
  • When ppa is up, Gustavo will blog about how to use it
• Create bindings for libvirt to use lxc.sf.net
  • Then libvirt can handle
    • auto-start of containers on boot
    • creation of a bridge for containers
