Summary:
The base type for the virtual server configuration data in a corresponding virtualization technology's native format. Agent uses its own structures (types) for the virtual server configuration data. Server virtualization products, such as Virtuozzo Containers, cannot directly use this data because they don't natively understand the format. The subtypes of native_configType
are used to hold the configuration data in a format understood by a specific virtualization technology. While Agent configuration structures make sense within the context of Agent, the native configuration data can be used externally. For example, you can pass it to a utility that comes with your virtualization product and which expects it as an input. The envm
interface provides two calls that allow to convert the configuration data between the two formats -- get_native_config
and get_virtual_config
.
Note: At the time of this writing, the only supported virtualization technology is Virtuozzo Containers.
