Have also seen a Full Certificate authority implemented using a makefile that was one of the easiest i have ever used
i am also currently using it with rsync to implement a poormans dropbox on a vps host with a systemd timer unit to clean files after 30 days for sharing files with customers, a simple wrapper script dumps it in the right folder, invokes make and causes rsync to run. the makefile also haandles setup of the account like ssh-add (with restricted commands), key generation and config options (via include files)
i use it to solve dependency graphs for me in my program language of choice, at the moment this involves setting up containers and container networking but i throw it at anything graph based
make seems to be easier to install/get running than the myriad of non packaged, github only projects i have found.
This is pretty much spot on based on my experience writing containers implementations. I have been putting together information documenting containers and just added some notes about security earlier.
At the moment i am taking my notes on how to secure containers and attempting to put them in a more digestible form unfortunately depending on what you are trying to do with containers the security model and how you defend those containers changes dramatically
if any one is interested in more info hit up http://doger.io and feel free to ask questions or request specific information be posted
Up until Linux 3.8/3.9 the shutdown() syscall was not container aware and hence shutting down from inside a container would shutdown a host
It has since been fixed and attached to the 'PID' namespace meaning that all processes in the PID namespace get shutdown in the same manner as the host calling shutdown() (ie init gets a specific signal, userspace processes get signaled as well)
