Navio

Navio is a simple tool for creating and managing linux containers.

A container is a set of processes isolated by Linux namespaces. We use, for example, PID namespace to isolate the PID number space, UTS to isolate the hostname and MOUNT to isolate the filesystem mount points.

All containers have their own rootfs (a isolated "mini operating system") associated, so that a change (for example, an installation of any library or a creation of a file) in a container does not affect others ones.

It is also possible use Cgroups to limit the amount of resources that each container can use.
