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

LXD is a next generation system container manager. It offers a user experience similar to virtual machines but using Linux containers instead. It's image based with pre-made images available for a wide number of Linux distributions and is built around a very powerful, yet pretty simple, REST API. To get a better idea of what LXD is and what it does, you can try it online! Then if you want to run it locally, take a look at our getting started guide. The LXD project was founded and is currently led by Canonical Ltd with contributions from a range of other companies and individual contributors. The core of LXD is a privileged daemon which exposes a REST API over a local unix socket as well as over the network (if enabled). Clients, such as the command line tool provided with LXD itself then do everything through that REST API. It means that whether you're talking to your local host or a remote server, everything works the same way.
