Running virtual machines in containers
FOSDEM 2017

The idea of running virtual machines inside containers is surprisingly old and was used due to several reasons. They include willingness to run VM-s in container orchestration engines like Kubernetes or Borg, or packaging IaaS cloud software like OpenStack in containers. In this presentation, I am going to describe these use cases and two main different approaches of containerizing VM-s - putting every qemu(-kvm) process in a separate container (like Borg or Rancher OS are doing) and putting libvirtd process in container (like OpenStack Kolla or Stackanetes are doing)
