williamyeh/show-kernel-info repository overview

⁠"Shared Kernel" and root file system features of Docker

This directory is to demostrate the "shared kernel" and root file system features of Docker, using show-kernel-info.sh⁠ as example.

To run all experiments in this directory, VirtualBox⁠ and Vagrant⁠ should be installed first. You may read my Vagrant Tutorials⁠ series for more information about Vagrant.

⁠For the impatient

See my screencast: "Shared Kernel" and root file system features of Docker⁠.

⁠Preparation

Prepare environments for experiment.

CAUTION: This may take minutes. Do it at a place with good bandwidth.
