Description
**What I'd like:**
A way to have some access/management of core dumps, but without disks filling up, or needing to do hacky things to work around container filesystem resets deleting container images.
It looks like there is a reasonable solution implemented via systemd's coredump process that allows storing and fetching core dumps in a centeralized way, as well as being able to do things like compression and disk usage management. Obviously this can impact a lot of things in the system just from resource usage, but it seems like an option for a coordinated approach to core dump management.
My main environment of concern is Kubernetes, but this likely would apply to ECS as well.
**Any alternatives you've considered:**
Status-quo: No core dumps preserved. Allow programs dumping core to disk till disk runs out. Hack something in with a bootstrap container.
Edit: Submitted too quickly.
