Containerization and OS History Quiz

This document discusses the history and development of containerization technologies: - Bill Cheswick helped pioneer the use of chroot jails in 1991 to monitor system crackers. - Control groups (cgroups) were developed to allocate resources like CPU and memory among groups of processes. - The chroot system call was introduced in Version 7 Unix in 1979, allowing processes to have a restricted view of the file system. - Mesos was originally called Nexus but was renamed due to a naming conflict. Kubernetes was originally called Project Seven of Nine, in reference to a Star Trek character.

Chroot changes the apparent root directory of a process.


The chroot directory is now the root directory and anything that branches out of it has no view of the
rest of the system. The chroot directory knows that it’s the root directory.

This gives you the ability to create a containerized or a limited view of your system.

So, through the use of chroot or the chroot directory, you can create a chroot jail for your users.
Process Containers = Control Group by Google

Aka subsystem e.g cpu, blkio, memory, devices, freezer etc.
