...Unlike traditional virtual machines or lightweight syscall filters, gVisor follows a third approach that offers many of the security benefits of virtualization while maintaining the speed, resource efficiency, and flexibility of containers. Its key runtime, runsc, integrates seamlessly with container ecosystems such as Docker and Kubernetes, making it easy to deploy sandboxed workloads using familiar tools. By intercepting and safely handling syscalls from applications, gVisor reduces the attack surface of the host kernel, mitigating risks associated with running untrusted or potentially malicious code in containerized environments.

lmctfy is Google’s open-source container runtime that exposed Linux cgroups and namespaces through a higher-level API, predating the widespread adoption of modern container tools. It offered a daemon and client for creating, updating, and destroying resource-isolated “containers” with quotas on CPU, memory, and other subsystems. The project focused on operational safety—clean hierarchies, accounting, and predictable behavior under resource pressure—reflecting lessons from running containers at scale. Although it has since been archived in favor of the broader ecosystem, the code remains a reference for how to map kernel primitives to service-oriented container management. ...
