Why Embedded Linux Needs a Container Manager Written in C

" summary

Describes why cloud-focused container tools (Golang/NodeJS-based) are ill-suited for resource-constrained embedded Linux and argues for a container manager implemented in C. Compares server/cloud container assumptions to embedded requirements, explains how containers can enable modular embedded development, and walks through Pantavisor, an open-source C-based container framework for embedded systems.
