Yes this is totally achievable and is in the backlog.
In 2.0.0.rc1 we now have Fedora containers in addition to all flavors of Ubuntu. CentOS is up next.
We're really really really close to an RC release. Would be awesome if you could do some beta testing for us! Let us know?
Bumping this - having fedora containers is neat and all, but we really need CentOS 6 containers.
Take a look at: http://www.emanuelis.eu/2010/05/28/how-to-create-a-lxc-centos-template/ - CentOS 5 - but should give us a head start.
Also http://www.whistl.com/files/lxcmgmt.tgz looks like it contains some handy scripts we can look at and build upon.
Created a base container for CentOS 6. Tested - it functions. Need to get it templatized.
Sorry for the delay - will get back onto this!
We have an actual use case for this right now. Chris and I just got off a call with one of our teams, which led to this issue. Probably non-trivial...
Yes, multiple instances of the same service, sometimes a slightly different version of the service, running on the same (very powerful) hardware, without virtualisation/containerisation to isolate it.
