LXC

If you want to play with LXC on nova, here is how you do it. Before setting up LXC with nova you have to enable cgroups:


sudo mkdir /cgroup
sudo mount none -t cgroup -o cpuacct,memory,devices,cpu,freezer,blkio  /cgroup

And add to your /etc/fstab


none /cgroup cgroup cpuacct,memory,devices,cpu,freezer,blkio   0 0

Note: You will need to download a newer version of libvirt 0.8.8.

  • Download the current natty UEC image.
  • In order to use LXC in nova you have to add "--libvirt_type=lxc" to your config.

Bundle your image as you normally would:


euca-bundle-image -i natty-amd64.img
euca-upload-bundle -b mybucket -m /tmp/natty-amd76.img
euca-register mybucket/natty-amd64.img.manifest.xml
