On: Barco: Linux Containers from Scratch in C

[aragilar]

It depends what you mean by "container". As far as I know, Windows containers aren't using namespaces, cgroups and seccomp. BSD Jails are definitely a different thing. So if you wanted to know how exactly linux containers worked, it's probably easiest to use what the linux docs provide (which is C).

Of course Windows containers aren't using Linux APIs, they are using Win32 mechanisms for process sandboxing.

Just like HP-UX vaults, and Solaris Zones aren't using namespaces, cgroups and seccomp, rather their own UNIX flavours.
