Manages isolated, ephemeral, and resource controlled environments.

The project's primary goal is to provide a simple API for managing isolated environments. These isolated environments -- or containers -- can be limited in terms of CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, and network access. As of writing, the only supported OS is Linux.

This repository contains the following components:

• warden -- server
• warden-protocol -- protocol definition, used by both the server and clients
• warden-client -- client (Ruby)
• em-warden-client -- client (Ruby's EventMachine)

For information on how to run the warden server and interact with it at the command line, see the warden server README.

warden-test-infrastructure provides a way to create a vagrant box and run warden tests.
