Description
During 2017 support for Docker and Singularity containers was added to
the Vac system, in addition to its long standing support for virtual
machines. All three types of "logical machine" can now be run in
parallel on the same pool of hypervisors, using container or virtual
machine definitions published by experiments. We explain how CernVM-FS
is provided to containers by the hypervisors, to avoid any need to operate
the containers in privileged modes.
