Скачать или смотреть [ENG] What Is a Container Runtime? [Ep.6]

In this episode, we go behind the scenes of containerization and explore the real engine that runs containers, the Container Runtime.

Remember our restaurant analogy?
If the Docker Daemon is the waiter organizing everything, the Container Runtime is the cook actually preparing the dishes. 🍳

We’ll break it down step by step:
👉 What exactly is a container runtime and how it fits in Docker and Kubernetes.
👉 The difference between daemons and runtimes.
👉 The two main types: High-level runtimes (containerd, CRI-O) and Low-level runtimes (runc, crun).
👉 How specialized runtimes like gVisor, Kata Containers, and Firecracker bring extra layers of isolation and security.
👉 A clear explanation of how everything connects down to the Linux kernel.
