About

Kata Containers is Apache 2 licensed software consisting of two main components: the Kata agent, and the Kata Containerd shim v2 runtime. It also packages a Linux kernel and versions of QEMU, Cloud Hypervisor and Firecracker hypervisors. Kata Containers are as light and fast as containers and integrate with the container management layers—including popular orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes (k8s)—while also delivering the security advantages of VMs. Kata Containers supports Linux (host and guest) for now. On the host side, we have installation instructions for several popular distributions. We also have out-of-the-box support for Clear Linux, Fedora, and CentOS 7 rootfs images through the OSBuilder which can also be used to roll your own guest images.

About

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers. LXC containers are often considered as something in the middle between a chroot and a full fledged virtual machine. The goal of LXC is to create an environment as close as possible to a standard Linux installation but without the need for a separate kernel. LXC is free software, most of the code is released under the terms of the GNU LGPLv2.1+ license, some Android compatibility bits are released under a standard 2-clause BSD license and some binaries and templates are released under the GNU GPLv2 license. LXC's stable release support relies on the Linux distributions and their own commitment to pushing stable fixes and security updates.
