A security-minded, standards-based container engine.
<!--more-->
rkt is an application {% glossary_tooltip text="container" term_id="container" %} engine featuring a {% glossary_tooltip text="pod" term_id="pod" %}-native approach, a pluggable execution environment, and a well-defined surface area. rkt allows users to apply different configurations at both the pod and application level and each pod executes directly in the classic Unix process model, in a self-contained, isolated environment.
