Containers
A container is a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another. A Docker container image is a lightweight, standalone, executable package of software that includes everything needed to run an application: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries and settings.
Docker made the use of Linux containers easy, and bootstrap the Open Container Initiative to ensure we have standards.
Runtimes
There is a bunch of runtimes:
- runc from OCI (simplest, default runtime)
- docker from Docker Inc.
- containerd under the Moby Project
- cri-o from Red Hat
