Lightweight, container-based virtualization is an excellent alternative to the likes of KVM, and we have a large array of options to choose from: lxc, Docker, rkt, more to come.

The idea of 2,000 Apache containers needing to be rebuilt because OpenSSL has released its latest patch for a security vulnerability is not appealing to most.

In this presentation, we use overlayfs in conjunction with a few configuration options to build a fully functional container environment for potentially hundreds of containers running on the same operating system distribution. We combine this with AppArmor (for MAC) and Pacemaker (for HA) to build a configuration where patches can be applied to hundreds of containers at once, with minimal downtime.
