What is Rocket?
rkt is a pod-native container engine for Linux that provides a secure, composable, and standards-based alternative to other container runtimes. It runs application containers with a focus on security features like SELinux and hardware isolation, while supporting integration with orchestration tools like Kubernetes. The project emphasizes adherence to open standards such as App Container (appc) and OCI specifications.
