preferred jail management tool

[wishmaster]

Hi, Michael.

Just my opinion. I think you should mention (and write practical examples) in your book about jail and benefit of using own management tools, especially in focus of using "light" jails. I use my own wrapper for creating, management, update, resource controlling and so on. This is like "light" application containers.

P.S.: Just create universal management tool which will be included all available jail's related feature (VIMAGE, RACTL and so on), import it into base system and we will forget about Doker in near future :-)

P.P.S.: Michael, thanks for your books, you have opened me FreeBSD.
