Hey Ilya - So, for about a month now we’ve had a system running SmartOS[1], which gives a combination of containers and KVM, albeit on illumos instead of linux. In general I’m not impressed by SmartOS’s story, but we had one customer asking for it (and I sorta expect more, we’re not officially supporting it yet). It’s a little early for me to even ponder integrating it with ACS, but might but worth a glance if you’re looking for that KVM/container mix.
Downsides: * Compared to a Linux hypervisor, much less feature support (missing Ceph is personally bugging me) * It’s…Solaris (the OS that won’t go away, c0t0d0s0 gives me flashbacks from 10 years ago). For us our infrastructure/automation is fairly tuned for linux, so really embracing this will require…effort.
