Add Kubernetes; OpenStack; Linux containers
{{stub}}[[File:Containers.png|thumb|150px|Linux Containers|link=https://linuxcontainers.org]]
== Comparison ==
== Leading Choices ==
=== Kubernetes ===
[[Kubernetes]] is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating computer application deployment, scaling, and management. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).
 
=== OpenStack ===
[[File:Openstack-logo-full.svg|thumb|right|150px|link=https://openstack.org]] OpenStack is a set of software components that provide common services for cloud infrastructure. There are many [https://www.openstack.org/software/project-navigator/openstack-components components]. Within OpenStack, there is an API service called Magnum which "makes container orchestration engines such as Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, and Apache Mesos available as first class resources in OpenStack."<ref>https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Magnum</ref>
 
=== Linux containers ===
Infrastructure for container projects. Sponsored by Canonical. https://linuxcontainers.org is the umbrella project behind [https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/introduction/ LXC], LXD and LXCFS. (See [[wp:LXC]]).
 
Linux containers are implementations of operating system-level virtualization for the Linux operating system. Several implementations exist, all based on the virtualization, isolation, and resource management mechanisms provided by the Linux kernel, notably Linux namespaces and cgroups. [[Docker]] is an example, although it no longer uses LXC as it's default execution environment. [[Podman]] is another example.
 
The goal is to offer a distro and vendor neutral environment for the development of Linux container technologies.
 
Our main focus is system containers. That is, containers which offer an environment as close as possible as the one you'd get from a VM but without the overhead that comes with running a separate kernel and simulating all the hardware.
