  • crun

    A fast and lightweight fully featured OCI runtime and C library for running containers

    • The docker utility isn't the only way to build and run containers. There's also cri-o, podman, and crun among others for running containers. For building there is podman again, Jib for Java applications, and bazel plus many others. The docker approach of using a client to connect to a daemon required to run as root has turned out to be slow and insecure.

    Open Container Initiative-based implementation of Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface
