Detailed Description
(shameless copy from rkt's github page)
rkt (pronounced "rock-it") is a CLI for running app containers on Linux. rkt is designed to be secure, composable, and standards-based.
Some of rkt's key features and goals include:
- Security: rkt is developed with a principle of "secure-by-default", and includes a number of important security features like support for SELinux, TPM measurement, and running app containers in hardware-isolated VMs.
- Composability: rkt is designed for first-class integration with init systems (systemd, upstart) and cluster orchestration tools (fleet, Kubernetes, Nomad), and supports swappable execution engines.
- Open standards and compatibility: rkt implements the appc specification, supports the Container Networking Interface specification, and can also run Docker images.
Benefit to Fedora
There are many hoops to jump through to get Rkt working on Fedora at the moment. This change will allow Fedora users to use Rkt out of the box.
