Thanks Ethan for the initiative. A few comments:
1. Is there any reason you guys chose to keep ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd into separate containers? I think having atleast the ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd together in the same container may make things easy. 2. You can also run your containers with --pid=host. That gives some advantages. 3. A startup script inside the container instead of loading so many things in docker run command may also make it easier. On Tue, Nov 10, 2015 at 2:36 PM, Ethan J.
