Hi all, first post on the list :)
I have two main questions, that will maybe get some ramifications. The first one is... Assuming a hardened Guest image (SELinux or Apparmor + The NSA Guidelines + no shell access on the guests), A LXC Host would be suitable to use as containment and resources control system for web hosting of several clients (I mean... Several 1000+)? The second question is... Assuming a Duo-Quad core intel machine, with 32 Gigs of RAM, how many containers I could squeeze on it? (Like... without any service running, what would be the memory and cpu overhead?) For apache hosting I made some rough research and came to something like this: For idle containers: Ma . Ac / (Mt / 3) . 2 Where: Ma => Apache proc memory consumption Ac => Number of apache processes per container Mt => Total amount of memory on the host I also leaved one third of the total memory not allocated to allow some space for apaches to grow. For loaded containers: Cgroups memory limit / Total amount of memory Do all this looks sane? :P Thanks in advance for any information on the subject. -- Leon Waldman SysAdmin Linux Sênior - Arquiteto de Infra-Estrutura & TI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
