CONTAINERIZATION PRIMITIVES Sam Kottler @samkottler
ABOUT ME • Work at DigitalOcean as a systems engineer
• Formerly of Red Hat, Venmo, Acquia • Committer/core for Puppet, Ansible, Fedora, CentOS, RubyGems, Bundler
WE’RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT LINUX
GOOD TO KNOW’S • What is a syscall • Basic
understanding of linux networking • Containers vs. virtualization
WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT ANY OF THIS?
CONTAINERS ARE THE PAST *, PRESENT, AND FUTURE * Most
of the linux ideas are poached from other OS’s
VIRTUALIZATION HAS BECOME MASSIVELY POPULAR BECAUSE OF ITS ECONOMICS
CONTAINERS ARE BECOMING MASSIVELY POPULAR BECAUSE THEY ALLOW LOGICAL SEPARATION
APPLICATION VS. FULL CONTAINERS
NETWORKS, USERS, AND PROCESSES
NAMESPACES • mnt: filesystem • pid: process • net: network
• ipc: SysV IPC • uts: hostname • user: UID
THE BASICS • Namespaces do not have names • Six
inodes exist under /proc/<pid>/ns • Each namespace has a unique inode
USERSPACE TOOLING • iproute2 • util-linux • systemd
NAMESPACE SYSCALLS • unshare() • moves existing process into a
new namespace • clone() • creates new process and namespace • setns() • joins an existing namespace
NETWORK ISOLATION • One namespace per networking device • Single
default namespace, init_net(*nets) • A lo device is included in every ns_net.
NETWORK NAMESPACES IN PRACTICE • ip netns add testns1 •
creates /var/run/netns/testns1 • route management per-NS • prevents cross-NS bonds • setns(int fd, int nstype) • validates namespace type vs. FD
SOCKET ISOLATION • Sockets are mapped into network namespaces •
Also part of a single network namespace • sk_net is part of the sock struct • sock_net()/sock_net_set() getter/setter
SOCKET ACTIVATION • Listen on a socket, but have no
services behind it • Request arrives, service is spun up, responds • Enabling 10k+ low-usage services on a VM
USER ISOLATION • Allows non-privileged usage • Often used as
the start of a namespace chain • UID’s come from the overflow rules
CGROUPS • Resource management • Around since 2006/2007 • Widely
used by userspace management tools
CGROUPS + NAMESPACES • “This PID can only see part
of the filesystem” • “This PID can only see part of the filesystem, use 384mb of memory, and utilize a single CPU.”
CGROUP IMPLEMENTATION • Hooks into fork() and exit() • VFS
of a new type called “cgroup” • More complex descriptors for task_struct • Procfs entry in /proc/<pid>/cgroup • All actions take place on the FS
CGROUP MANAGEMENT • 4 files per-cgroup • tasks • cgroup.procs
• cgroup.event_control • notify_on_release
CPU • Split into “shares” • Default is 2048 shares
• Linear CPU time use
MEMORY • Exposes most of the memory subsystem • NUMA
management • Most complex type of cgroup
LETS TALK ABOUT SECURITY…
SHARING A KERNEL IS INHERENTLY LESS SECURE
KERNEL VULNERABILITIES AROUND BREAKOUT ARE USUALLY MITIGATED BY RUNNING SERVICES
NON- PRIVILEGED
