This article examines how Mirantis’ acquisition of Docker, the historical contributions of major vendors, and the development of container runtimes such as LXC, runc, CRI‑O, and containerd have shaped the modern cloud‑native ecosystem and OpenShift’s architecture.
This article explains containerd’s evolution, its advantages over Docker Engine in Kubernetes, how to set it up with Minikube, use gvisor sandbox, manage containers with ctr and crictl, and outlines Alibaba Cloud’s support for containerd in ACK.
Zhang Lei’s KubeCon 2018 talk explains Kubernetes’ interface‑driven design, the role of CRI, container runtimes like containerd and KataContainers, and introduces the containerd ShimV2 layer that simplifies integrating secure, VM‑based runtimes into Kubernetes without writing separate CRI shims.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the Docker ecosystem, tracing its historical milestones, detailing various container technologies, explaining key Docker components and concepts, and illustrating the evolution of Docker through diagrams and the Moby project.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of Docker’s ecosystem, tracing its roots from early container technologies like chroot and FreeBSD Jails through Docker’s own components, key concepts such as libcontainer and OCI, and the evolution into the modular Moby project with related tools such as containerd, Linuxkit, and Infrakit.
PouchContainer introduces an upgrade API that allows seamless, in‑place upgrades of stateful containers by preserving network, storage, and configuration while reducing API calls, offering consistency, flexibility, and robustness for enterprise‑scale deployments.
In this talk, a former Google SRE shares his experiences moving from massive YouTube growth to Google Cloud operations and later to a Chinese startup, exposing the hidden pitfalls of Docker daemon, image management, container runtimes, and practical DevOps strategies for building, packaging, and running services.
