## Design

Containerization executes each Linux container inside of its own lightweight virtual machine.
Provide a dedicated IP address to the container to remove the need for individual port forwarding.

Containers achieve sub-second start times using an optimized [Linux kernel configuration](/kernel) and a small init system.
Containerization executes each Linux container inside of its own lightweight virtual machine.

Containers achieve sub-second start times using an optimized [Linux kernel configuration](/kernel) and a minimal root filesystem with a lightweight init system.
