[lxc-users] LXC for real-time robotics

Based on some success using LXC as a development environment on my desktop,
we're looking at using LXC containers to deploy software to our robotics
platform. The deployment platform will be Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04, running on
a custom kernel with the RT_PREEMPT patch applied, and probably using btrfs
as a backend due to the superior snapshot support. The applications running
in the container will need to meet (soft) real-time requirements.

I was wondering whether anyone has tried running real-time applications in
an LXC container, or if there is anything in LXC/LXD itself that would
suggest this is a bad fit.

Regards,

Mark Paterson
