Features

• Container Orchestrators - Acts as a core engine for managing the full lifecycle, networking, and resource allocation of containers.
• OCI Runtime Implementations - Implements an OCI-compliant runtime for executing isolated processes across different platforms.
• Container Image Builders - Includes a tool for bundling source code and dependencies into portable images using declarative configurations.
• Container API Clients - Provides dedicated clients and shared type definitions for programmatically interacting with the container engine API.
• Programmatic Clients - Ships programmatic clients that allow external applications to execute container lifecycle operations.
• Container Build Specifications - Provides a declarative configuration system for defining the steps and environment required to build container images.
• Container Daemons - Operates as a persistent background daemon that manages the lifecycle and configuration of containers.
• Container Image Management - Provides comprehensive tools for building, caching, and managing the lifecycle of portable container images.
• Container Image Packaging - Implements tools for bundling applications and their dependencies into portable container images.
• Container Management Systems - Provides a system for running and orchestrating containerized applications via a core engine.
• Container Orchestration APIs - Provides an API for the programmatic management of container lifecycles and runtime infrastructure.
• Runtime Managers - Orchestrates the execution and termination of isolated processes using standardized runtime specifications.
• Layered Construction - Utilizes a layered filesystem approach to construct portable images by stacking read-only layers for space efficiency.
• Container Runtime Managers - Acts as a manager for the full lifecycle of container runtime instances, including creation and termination.
• Filesystem Storage Drivers - Provides pluggable drivers to abstract host filesystems for managing container image layers and writable volumes.
• OCI Container Engines - Implements a core engine for building and managing isolated containers based on OCI standards.
• Process Isolation - Provides the core ability to execute binaries and scripts in isolated environments using namespaces and cgroups.
• Container Image Registry Uploads - Facilitates the transfer and upload of built container images to remote registries via an API.
• Cross-Platform Binary Generation - Generates executable binaries and container images for multiple target CPU architectures and operating systems.
• Rootless Execution - Enables the container engine daemon to execute without root privileges to reduce the host security attack surface.
• Rootless Container Runtimes - Supports execution environments that allow the engine and containers to run without root privileges.
• Rootless Modes - Supports a rootless security model allowing the engine daemon to execute without root privileges.
• Client-Server Architectures - Implements a client-server architecture separating the container daemon from CLI tools via a standardized HTTP API.
• Cloud Native Infrastructure - Core engine for container runtime implementation and learning.
• Container Management - Docker engine.
• Infrastructure and Automation - Open-source application container engine.
• Infrastructure and Containers - Collaborative container ecosystem project.
• Infrastructure Tools - Platform for building container-based systems.
• Development Environments - Provides containerization technology for building and running software.
• Go Projects - Listed in the “Go Projects” section of the Awesome For Beginners awesome list.
• Namespace and Process Utilities - Modular toolkit components for building container software.
