Starting with the LXC 1.0 release, it is possible to run containers as regular users on the host using "unprivileged containers". [10] Unprivileged containers are more limited in that they cannot access hardware directly. However, even privileged containers should provide adequate isolation in the LXC 1.0 security model, if properly configured ...
In computing, privilege is defined as the delegation of authority to perform security-relevant functions on a computer system. [1] A privilege allows a user to perform an action with security consequences. Examples of various privileges include the ability to create a new user, install software, or change kernel functions.
A privilege level in the x86 instruction set controls the access of the program currently running on the processor to resources such as memory regions, I/O ports, and special instructions. There are 4 privilege levels ranging from 0 which is the most privileged, to 3 which is least privileged.
Engineers at Google started the work on this feature in 2006 under the name "process containers". [2] In late 2007, the nomenclature changed to "control groups" to avoid confusion caused by multiple meanings of the term " container " in the Linux kernel context, and the control groups functionality was merged into the Linux kernel mainline in ...
Container clusters need to be managed. This includes functionality to create a cluster, to upgrade the software or repair it, balance the load between existing instances, scale by starting or stopping instances to adapt to the number of users, to log activities and monitor produced logs or the application itself by querying sensors.
User namespaces are a feature to provide both privilege isolation and user identification segregation across multiple sets of processes, available since kernel 3.8. [10] With administrative assistance, it is possible to build a container with seeming administrative rights without actually giving elevated privileges to user processes.
The privileged partition can be defined as a protected partition. If content is highly popular, it is pushed into the privileged partition. Replacement of the privileged partition is done as follows: LFRU evicts content from the unprivileged partition, pushes content from privileged partition to unprivileged partition, and finally inserts new ...
Intuitively, the theorem states that to build a VMM it is sufficient that all instructions that could affect the correct functioning of the VMM (sensitive instructions) always trap and pass control to the VMM. This guarantees the resource control property. Non-privileged instructions must instead be executed natively (i.e., efficiently).
