Has any work been done around running Foglight, FglAM, and Agents in Docker Containers?

I'm investigating the advantages of running some parts of Foglight from Docker Containers (mainly the FglAM/Agents).

Is there any documentation for setting up and running Remote FglAMs/Agents in Docker Containers?  Can it be done?  Advantages/Disadvantages?  Can I point a containerized FglAM to an FMS running in a standard VM?

  • What's the use case for using a container vs. a regular, old virtual machine to run the Fglams?
    I understand containers can achieve a higher density per host than (most) vm's, but you'll still need cpu/memory reserved to ensure adequate performance.

    I don't see there being a limitation to doing this with Docker, provided the OS is supported by Fglam. You would want to ensure some type of persistent storage for the container too.
