## Why?

RunCVM was born out of difficulties experienced using the Docker and Podman CLIs to launch [Kata Containers v2](https://katacontainers.io/), and a belief that launching containerised workloads in VMs using Docker needn't be so complicated (see the ongoing effort to [re-add OCI CLI commands for docker/podman](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/722) to Kata v2 to support Docker & Podman; other Kata issues [#3358](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/3358), [#1123](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/1123), [#1133](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/1133), [#3038](https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/issues/3038); Podman issues [#8579](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/8579) and [#17070](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/17070); and Kubernetes issue [#40114](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/40114)).

(See the ongoing effort to [re-add OCI CLI commands for docker/podman](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/722) to Kata v2 to support Docker & Podman; other Kata issues [#3358](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/3358), [#1123](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/1123), [#1133](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/1133), [#3038](https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/issues/3038); Podman issues [#8579](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/8579) and [#17070](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/17070); and Kubernetes issue [#40114](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/40114)).

Like Kata, RunCVM aims to be a secure container runtime with lightweight virtual machines that feel and perform like containers, but provide stronger workload isolation using hardware virtualisation technology.
