    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>systemd-machined</command> is a system service that
    keeps track of virtual machines and containers, and processes
    belonging to them.</para>

    <para>See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for some examples on how to run containers with OS tools.</para>

    <para>Use
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-mymachines</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    to make the names of local containers known to
    <command>systemd-machined</command> locally resolvable as host
    names.</para>
