It is a major competitor to the Docker container engine. CoreOS rkt is based on the Application Container Image (ACI) as defined by the App Container spec (appc).

What is the difference between RHEL and CoreOS?

What is Cgroups and namespaces?

Namespaces and cgroups are the building blocks for containers and modern applications. Namespaces provide isolation of system resources, and cgroups allow for fine‑grained control and enforcement of limits for those resources. Containers are not the only way that you can use namespaces and cgroups.

Is rkt supported by Kubernetes?

Kubernetes runs all applications in containers. In the default setup, this is performed using the Docker engine, but Kubernetes also features support for using rkt as its container runtime backend. This allows a Kubernetes cluster to leverage some of rkt’s security features and native pod support.

Is CoreOS rkt open source?

Both Docker and CoreOS rkt are free, open source offerings, with various paid-for enterprise offerings consisting primarily of value-added services and support.
