+ <title>New unit types: Scope</title>
+ <para>
+ Systemd now has two new unit types, <systemitem>scope</systemitem> and <systemitem>slice</systemitem>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <systemitem>scope</systemitem> units are automatically created by systemd out of existing processes. By grouping a process and its children together, a scope unit can be used to organize processes, apply resource units, or kill a group of processes. User sessions are one example of processes contained in a scope unit.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <systemitem>slice</systemitem> units are used to group units that manage processes into a hierarchy that allows control of resources allocated to the slice. The default slices are machine.slice, for virtual machines and containers; system.slice, for system services; and user.slice, for user sessions. These default slices are automatically populated.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <systemitem>Instance units</systemitem>, such as <systemitem>getty@.service</systemitem>, are spawned on demand using the template defined in their configuration file. Each type of template is given a subslice of the <literal>system slice</literal>, and instances are contained within that slice.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Scope and service units assigned to a slice are descendants of that slice's node in the control group tree. A slice's name describes its position relative to the root slice. The output below demonstrates how <emphasis>user-1000.slice</emphasis> is a child of <emphasis>user.slice</emphasis>, which is in turn a child of <emphasis><literal>.</literal></emphasis>, the root slice. Each session is further confined in a scope unit within the user's slice.
