Btw, you can do all of this with systemd too

I think most container systems have an ephemeral option. If you're looking at systemd then look at the man pages for either systemd-nspawn or systemd-vmspawn and look under Image Options. More specifically `-x, --ephemeral`. It's a pretty handy option.

But in that case, why not just use systemd? ;)

Despite my joke above, I actually love this. Having options is great and I think it ends up pushing all of them to be better. The competition is great. I'm hyping systemd up a bit but honestly there's gives and takes with each of the different methods. There's healthy competition right now, but I do think systemd deserves a bit more love than it currently gets.
