Containers microconference accepted into Linux Plumbers Conference

A microconference on containers will be featured at this year's Linux Plumbers Conference, which will be held in Los Angeles, CA, US on13-15 September in conjunction with The Linux Foundation Open SourceSummit. "The agenda for this year will focus on unsolved issues and otherproblem areas in the Linux kernel container interfaces with the goal ofallowing all container runtimes and orchestration systems to provideenhanced services. Of particular interest is the unprivileged use ofcontainer APIs in which we can use both to enable self-containerisingapplications as well as to deprivilege (make more secure) containerorchestration systems. In addition we will be discussing the potentialaddition of new namespaces: (LSM for per-container security modules;IMA for per-container integrity and appraisal, file capabilities toallow setcap binaries to run within unprivileged containers)."
