What is rkt?

Rkt serves as a sophisticated application container engine designed for modern cloud-native settings, particularly in production. Its architecture embraces a pod-native approach, offering a flexible execution environment alongside a well-defined interface that enhances its compatibility with various systems. The primary execution element in rkt is termed a pod, which comprises one or more applications operating together within a shared environment, mirroring the pod structure utilized in Kubernetes orchestration. Users have the ability to modify several configurations, including isolation settings, both at the pod level and in a more granular manner for each application. In the rkt framework, every pod functions directly under the conventional Unix process model, eliminating the need for a central daemon and fostering a self-contained and isolated operational context. Additionally, rkt employs a modern and open standard container format known as the App Container (appc) specification, while still being capable of executing other container images, such as those created by Docker. This versatility and commitment to industry standards significantly enhance rkt's appeal among developers who are looking for reliable and powerful container solutions. Furthermore, rkt’s innovative features and user-centric design make it an attractive option for teams aiming to streamline their application deployment processes.
