Or Kata containers or Hyper.sh. There's so much going on, it's hard to keep up or even tell the difference. Kata is an initiative by the OpenStack foundationa and somehow a mix of Clear and Hyper as far as I can tell.
I'm not very familiarized with this problem space. Could someone explain what why this is useful, and why you'd want to use it? What are the problems that it solves? I looked through the README, but I'm a bit lost.
Simply put, it allows you to run multiple-tenants' code (image) over shared infrastructure.
Think about why all public clouds are built with virtualization technology. Multi-tenants require strong isolation, which virtualization promises. Therefore, if we could get strong isolation in container, we can build public cloud with container.
