Kata Containers has just released version 1.0. The technology is basically qemu but with all hardware virtualization removed. Intel has been working on it for a couple of ears and it was highly talked about at the big OpenStack meetup in Canada in May 2018. https://katacontainers.io/ --[[User:Svintoo|Svintoo]] 2018-05-29 09:14 (UTC)
== Definition of ''container'' ==
While researching for this article, I've noticed different definitions of ''container'' depending on what aspects of the technology the authors want to stress. For example, Docker defines a container as "a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another" [https://www.docker.com/resources/what-container], while this article (before I rewrote the lead) defined a container as an instance of a virtual userspace created thru OS-level virtualization [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Container_(virtualization)&oldid=885636072]. Since Docker is the most widespread container framework, the lead should give due weight to their definition (which stresses portability). <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[User:Qzekrom|Qzekrom]] [[User talk:Qzekrom|💬]] <sup>they</sup><sub>them</sub></span> 18:24, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
