Chapter 6. Comparing Systemd services to containerized services


This chapter provides some reference material to show how containerized services differ from Systemd services.

6.1. Systemd services and containerized services

The following table shows the correlation between Systemd-based services and the podman containers controlled with the Systemd services.

6.2. Systemd log locations vs containerized log locations

The following table shows Systemd-based OpenStack logs and their equivalents for containers. All container-based log locations are available on the physical host and are mounted to the container.

6.3. Systemd configuration vs containerized configuration

The following table shows Systemd-based Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration and their equivalents for containers. All container-based configuration locations are available on the physical host, are mounted to the container, and are merged, through kolla, into the configuration within each respective container.
