Linux namespaces: History, Art & Standards

Namespaces are a feature of the Linux kernel that partition kernel resources such that one set of processes sees one set of resources, while another set of processes sees a different set of resources. The feature works by assigning the same namespace type to a set of resources and processes, but allowing those namespaces to refer to distinctly isolated…
