Let Me Contain That For You
Google's open-source Linux application container stack providing resource isolation through a high-level API.
What is Let Me Contain That For You?
lmctfy is Google's open-source Linux container stack that provides application containers for resource isolation on a single machine. It solves the problem of multiple applications competing for system resources by giving each the impression of running exclusively on the machine. The project offers both a C++ library and CLI for container management.
System administrators and developers working with Linux containers who need fine-grained resource isolation and management capabilities, particularly those interested in Google's approach to containerization.
Developers choose lmctfy for its direct lineage from Google's production container stack, its hierarchical container model with delegation capabilities, and its focus on user intent through a high-level API rather than low-level kernel interactions.
Overview
lmctfy is the open source version of Google’s container stack, which provides Linux application containers.
