Detailed Description
(shameless copy from rkt's github page)
rkt (pronounced "rock-it") is a CLI for running app containers on Linux. rkt is designed to be secure, composable, and standards-based.
Some of rkt's key features and goals include:
- Security: rkt is developed with a principle of "secure-by-default", and includes a number of important security features like support for SELinux, TPM measurement, and running app containers in hardware-isolated VMs.
- Composability: rkt is designed for first-class integration with init systems (systemd, upstart) and cluster orchestration tools (fleet, Kubernetes, Nomad), and supports swappable execution engines.
- Open standards and compatibility: rkt implements the appc specification, supports the Container Networking Interface specification, and can also run Docker images.
