Redpak: Ultra light weight container for embedded systems
summary
Redpak is an ultra-lightweight embedded container engine designed to run programs in microseconds under heavy resource constraints. It uses Linux namespaces for isolation but departs from mainstream container systems (Docker, LXC, Snap, Flatpak) to target embedded use cases like cars, submarines and trains, focusing on strict package qualification and resource control. The talk explains running containerized programs with tight resources, managing multiple toolkit variants, and how containers simplify configuration management, security and hierarchical models.
