Thank you!

Indeed, container live migration is limited and a bit unclear on "network devices" - bridged interface is network device or not?

Bit ironic, that even with using CRUI, which AFAIK was created by the same Virtuozzo guys which provided OpenVZ back then, and that VEs could live migrate, was personally testing it in 2007-2008. Granted, there we no systemd by that days, if this complicates things. And of course required their patched kernel.

> Live migration for containers For containers, there is limited support for live migration using CRIU. However, because of extensive kernel dependencies, only very basic containers (non-systemd containers without a network device) can be migrated reliably. In most real-world scenarios, you should stop the container, move it over and then start it again.
