## Project description (what it does, why it is valuable, origin and history)
|
|
`runV` is a hypervisor-based container runtime implementation for [OCI](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec).
|
|
It uses hypervisors (KVM, Xen, etc.), instead of Cgroup/Namespace to spawn and run containers.
|
|
runV is able to launch a container image (Docker, OCI, etc.) into a micro VM in 100ms,
|
|
and still keeps the hardware-enforced isolation in virtualization. The combination allows container to replace
|
|
traditional VM as the building block for future cloud, which is container-native and application-centric.
|
|
|
|
`hyperstart` is a independent component for `runV` which is used as init service (PID=1) inside the VM sandbox to handle
|
|
commands from outside world. This is the key to hypervisor based container to match the design and behavior of Linux container.
|
|
|
|
'runV` is integrated with [Kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/features/blob/master/release-1.6/release-notes-draft.md#node-components-1 ) as an plug-able secure CRI runtime to launch micro VM as Pod. Also, `runV` can work with `containerd` to start secure container. Besides security and isolation, `runV` also brings greater workload compatibility (kernel module, kernel version, Bring-Your-Own-Kernel) to multi-tenant environment.
|
|
|
|
* statement on alignment with CNCF charter mission
|
|
`runV` tries to enable native hypervisor-based runtime in Kubernetes and CNCF community in cloud native way. This is a important
|
|
supplement to current ecosystem especially considering the coming soon roadmaps including hard multi-tenancy, container security,
|
|
and legacy application adoption. By closely working with CNI, CRI, containerd, Prometheus etc, `runV` is looking forward to fostering
|
|
the growth of CNCF community to a wider area.

|
The latest stable release for runV is [0.8.1](https://github.com/hyperhq/runv/releases/tag/v0.8.1), and there have been 8 releases.
|
|
We have a 2~3 months scheduled release period, which depends on the changes in 5 main aspects:
|
|
|
|
1. CRI spec
|
|
2. OCI runtime & image spec
|
|
3. Notable change in Kubernetes `Node` or `containerd`
|
|
4. Notable change in CNI spec
|
|
5. Notable change related to hypervisor related library
|
|
