Description
gVisor is an application kernel, written in Go, that implements a substantial portion of the Linux system call interface. It provides an additional layer of isolation between running applications and the host operating system. This package ships the complete prebuilt, upstream-published runtime payload: * runsc - the OCI-compatible sandbox runtime * containerd-shim-runsc-v1 - the containerd runtime shim * gvisor-bin - runtime sidecars, when present in the release After installation, wire runsc into your container runtime, e.g.: runsc install # add the "runsc" runtime to /etc/docker/daemon.json systemctl restart docker
