rkt Intro

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

rkt is a Linux-only container runtime that claims no daemon operation and implements the AppC image format and execution model while providing a swappable stage one (default namespaces+systemd, or KVM via qemu). recent work adds a Kubernetes CRI shim called rktlet, documentation improvements (≈31 PRs funded by CNCF), and a live demo showing a three-node Kubernetes 1.9 cluster running workloads; compatibility breaks with Kubernetes 1.10. outstanding items: update to 0.3 CNI (too old) and native OCI support not yet implemented.
