Dear DOS students,

the next DOS exercise will take place this coming Monday:

Mon, 2 June 2025, 13:00, in APB E09

This will be a practical exercise on “Container Isolation”.

We provide a VM image that already has all required software installed, as well as the source code that we will work on during the exercise:

https://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/Studium/DOS/SS2025/DOSVM.ova

You should bring a laptop on which you can run a virtual machine (VM). For example, using VirtualBox, which is available

- as a package on most Linux distributions, - can be downloaded from the vendor’s website: https://www.virtualbox.org/

To prepare for the exercise, please download the VM image and import it into the virtualization software.

We will then implement a simple container runtime for Linux during the exercise.

Kind regards, Carsten
