Introduction to rkt
summary
rkt is a container runtime that executes OCI and Docker images and targets simple integration by using a process model that runs as a child process of whatever invokes it, letting systems like Nomad and systemd adopt containers without rearchitecting. It already uses gRPC for RPC, ships RPMs and DEBs on each release, has twice‑monthly releases, and shows real Kubernetes compatibility with 84/89 conformance tests passing.
