  Build and run tiny vms from Dockerfiles. Small and sleek. (by ottomatica)

  

  There are a few existing projects out there like this if folks are interested. Slim [0] is the one I can remember off the top of my head. I think there are a couple more.

  Still, neat to have the walkthrough here in this post.

  Security and performance aren't the only driving forces; there are a lot of technical and operational benefits to the abstraction and standard interfaces that you get when running stacks that might otherwise look like someone took an Xzibit meme too far.

  Also remember on a modern system, there are often at least 2 additional layers at work abstracting interfaces to the "bare metal" OS already.

  Kwarantine can run strongly isolated containers in a multi-tenant setting

  No, gVisor is from Google. They emulate system calls in user-space and use VMs, which increases runtime performance overhead. We use hardware virtualization to directly run containers -- no I/O emulation, no expensive VM exits, scale as needed. Initial comparison with FC/GVisor/Xen here: https://github.com/ashishbijlani/kwarantine
