rkt Description

rkt is an application containers engine that was developed for modern production cloud environments. It is pod-native, pluggable execution environments, and a well-defined area that allows for easy integration with other systems. The pod is the core execution unit of RKT. It is a collection or applications that execute in a shared context. (Pods in Kubernetes orchestration software are synonymous with rkt's pods). rkt lets users apply different configurations (such as isolation parameters) at both the pod-level and per-application levels. Rkt's architecture allows each pod to execute in the Unix process model (i.e. There is no central daemon, and each pod executes in its own isolated environment. rkt implements an open container format called the App Container (appc spec), but can also execute other container images such as those created with Docker.
