Container Runtimes

Running containers with alternative runtimes such as Kata Containers and gVisor (runsc) using Docker.

Docker supports alternative container runtimes through the --runtime flag. Kata Containers runs each container in a lightweight VM for stronger isolation, while gVisor (runsc) intercepts system calls in user space to reduce the kernel attack surface.
