LXC combines the kernel's cgroups and support for isolated namespaces to provide an isolated environment for applications. [4] Early versions of Docker used LXC as the container execution driver, [4] though LXC was made optional in v0.9 and support was dropped in Docker v1.10. [5] [6]
Singularity is a free and open-source computer program that performs operating-system-level virtualization also known as containerization. [4]One of the main uses of Singularity is to bring containers and reproducibility to scientific computing and the high-performance computing (HPC) world.
Container clusters need to be managed. This includes functionality to create a cluster, to upgrade the software or repair it, balance the load between existing instances, scale by starting or stopping instances to adapt to the number of users, to log activities and monitor produced logs or the application itself by querying sensors.
OS-level virtualization is an operating system (OS) virtualization paradigm in which the kernel allows the existence of multiple isolated user space instances, including containers (LXC, Solaris Containers, AIX WPARs, HP-UX SRP Containers, Docker, Podman), zones (Solaris Containers), virtual private servers (), partitions, virtual environments (VEs), virtual kernels (DragonFly BSD), and jails ...
L 4 Linux is a variant of the Linux kernel for operating systems, that is altered to the extent that it can run paravirtualized on an L4 microkernel, where the L4Linux kernel runs a service. L4Linux is not a fork but a variant and is binary compatible with the Linux x86 kernel, thus it can replace the Linux kernel of any Linux distribution .
Proxmox allows deployment and management of virtual machines and containers. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] It is based on a modified Debian LTS kernel. [ 9 ] Two types of virtualization are supported: container-based with LXC (starting from version 4.0 replacing OpenVZ used in version up to 3.4, included [ 10 ] ), and full virtualization with KVM .
The first public beta version of Docker Compose (version 0.0.1) was released on December 21, 2013. [34] The first production-ready version (1.0) was made available on October 16, 2014. [35] Docker Swarm provides native clustering functionality for Docker containers, which turns a group of Docker engines into a single virtual Docker engine. [36]
Docker, Inc. is an American technology company that develops productivity tools built around Docker, which automates the deployment of code inside software containers. [1] [2] Major commercial products of the company are Docker Hub, a central repository of containers, and Docker Desktop, a GUI application for Windows and Mac to manage containers.
