Doc Type:	Technology Preview
Doc Text:	_criu_ rebased to version 2.3 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 introduced the criu tool as a Technology Preview. This tool implements Checkpoint/Restore in User-space (CRIU), which can be used to freeze a running application and store it as a collection of files. Later, the application can be restored from its frozen state. Note that the criu tool depends on Protocol Buffers, a language-neutral, platform-neutral extensible mechanism for serializing structured data. The _protobuf_ and _protobuf-c_ packages, which provide this dependency, were also introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 as a Technology Preview. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3, the _criu_ packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2.3, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Notably, criu is now available also on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for POWER, little endian. Additionally, criu can now be used for following applications running in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 runc container: * vsftpd * apache httpd * sendmail * postgresql * mongodb * mariadb * mysql * tomcat * dnsmasq

Description Adrian Reber 2016-01-07 10:29:28 EST

As long as criu is a technology preview we should try to follow upstream. Upstream is still fast moving and is still implementing important features.

There are already a few backports in the existing criu package for RHEL 7.2 and especially for the PPC64LE support a newer criu version is required.
