GVisor

gVisor is a container sandbox developed by Google that focuses on security, efficiency and ease of use.^[1][2] gVisor implements around 200 of the Linux system calls in userspace, for additional security compared to containers that run directly on top of the Linux kernel and are isolated with namespaces.^[3][4] Unlike the Linux kernel, gVisor is written in the memory-safe programming language Go to prevent common pitfalls which frequently occur in software written in C.^[5]
