A stateless and diskless container OS provisioning system for large clusters
Took the title from the github repo, since there wasn't much on the homepage that was as descriptive. https://github.com/warewulf/warewulf Posting because I'm looking into HPC systems for work, and this looks cool.
- going to replace our old cluster, which way xCat or Warewulf?

Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods
This sounds exactly like Singularity http://singularity.hpcng.org/

What is a singularity container and how do I use it?
never used it but a very popular example of a container is docker (that link says what a container is) and singularity just looks like another container flavour (maybe specific to HPCs?)

Youki, a container runtime in Rust, passed all the default tests provided by opencontainers.
The re-exec pattern is not the only way you can solve this in Go. I actually rebuilt a container runtime from C to Go (for the HPC market) and we had to solve this problem. We did it by essentially forking before any Go code gets run. Here’s the code for the main binary that actually spawns the container process. It’s half C, half Go. https://github.com/hpcng/singularity/tree/master/cmd/starter
