Systemd-Nspawn is Chroot on Steroids – Lennart Poettering, Red Hat

systemd-nspawn is a simple container manager for Linux systems that is shipped as built-in component of systemd. systemd-nspawn is as easy to use as chroots, but suitable for booting up full-blown Linux systems. It_s great as light-weight container tool that just works. systemd-nspawn makes working with containers easy. In this presentation I will introduce you to systemd-nspawn, and show how you can set up a bootable Linux container in a one command, and then boot it up in a second one — and all that with built-in tools of your favourite (systemd-based) distribution. You might learn a thing or two about Linux containers in general, and the technology they build on. We_ll discuss how we are working on integrating container support as closely into the core OS as possible, trying to provide similar integration as Zones on Solaris. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/
