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.
In software engineering, containerization is operating-system–level virtualization or application-level virtualization over multiple network resources so that software applications can run in isolated user spaces called containers in any cloud or non-cloud environment, regardless of type or vendor. [1]
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 ...
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]
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 .
gVisor is a container sandbox developed by Google that focuses on security, efficiency and ease of use. [1] [2] gVisor implements around 200 of the Linux system calls in userspace, for additional security compared to Docker containers that run directly on top of the Linux kernel and are isolated with namespaces.
