List of Linux containers
Linux containers are implementations of operating system-level virtualization for the Linux operating system. Several implementations exist, all based on the virtualization, isolation, and resource management mechanisms provided by the Linux kernel, notably Linux namespaces and cgroups.[1] These include:
- Docker, first released on 13 March 2013
- Linux-VServer
- lmctfy, initially developed by Google and released on 13 October 2013 and not actively developed since 2015.
- LXC (Linux Containers), first released on August 6, 2008[2]
- LXD, an alternative wrapper around LXC developed by Canonical[3]
- OpenVZ
- Rkt[4] (archived[5]), originally developed by CoreOS inc. and acquired[6] by Red Hat inc.
- Singularity
- systemd-nspawn[7]
- Podman[8]
- Charliecloud, a set of container tools used on HPC systems[9]
- MicroVM Platform [10]
- Bottlerocket is a Linux-based open-source operating system that is purpose-built by Amazon Web Services for running containers on virtual machines or bare metal hosts[11]
