Glossary

Bundle

A directory structure that is written ahead of time, distributed, and used to seed the runtime for creating a container and launching a process within it.

Configuration

The config.json and runtime.json files in a bundle which define the intended container and container process.

Container

An environment for executing processes with configurable isolation and resource limitations. For example, namespaces, resource limits, and mounts are all part of the container environment.

JSON

All configuration JSON MUST be encoded in UTF-8.

Runtime

An implementation of this specification. It reads the configuration files from a bundle, uses that information to create a container, launches a process inside the container, and performs other lifecycle actions.
