Moby and LinuxKit, What to Expect
summary
Describes Docker splitting into two projects: Moby as an assembler for container runtimes and LinuxKit as a tool to build minimal, secure Linux systems. Shows concrete results: LinuxKit builds bootable images (ISO, VMDK, AMI) and very small images (~35–40 MB) using an almost unmodified vanilla kernel, runs services as containers (one‑shot and long‑running), and demonstrates creating a personal distribution in days; notes many features are experimental and some tooling is incomplete but the image build/run flow works end‑to‑end.
