gVisor is an application kernel developed by Google that provides a strong layer of isolation between applications and the host operating system. Written in Go, it implements a Linux-compatible system call interface that runs entirely in user space, creating a secure sandboxed environment for containers. 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. ...

While most of the tools used in the Linux containers ecosystem are written in Go, I believe C is a better fit for a lower-level tool like container runtime. runc, the most used implementation of the OCI runtime specs written in Go, re-execs itself and uses a module written in C for setting up the environment before the container process starts. crun aims to be also usable as a library that can be easily included in...
