railcar
A Rust implementation of the Open Containers Initiative runtime specification, providing memory-safe container execution.
What is railcar?
Railcar is a container runtime implementation written in Rust that follows the Open Containers Initiative (OCI) runtime specification. It provides a secure, memory-safe way to run containers without the overhead of garbage collection, serving as an alternative to runc with enhanced safety guarantees.
Container platform developers, infrastructure engineers, and security-conscious teams building containerized applications who need a memory-safe runtime implementation.
Developers choose Railcar for its Rust-based memory safety features that eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities, its compliance with OCI standards for interoperability, and its ability to integrate with Docker as a backend runtime.
