Bringing containers to production with LinusKit
summary
LinuxKit claims repeatable, immutable server images built from containers that build in ~30s and boot as VMs on Mac, AWS or GCP. The YAML file treats normal Docker images as packages—demo runs nginx from Alpine image directly under containerd—and CI boots many test VMs to run component and black‑box tests. Production output is AMIs/VM images; InfraKit actively maintains fleets with rolling upgrades. Security work includes WireGuard and Landlock prototypes; kernels and services are minimal and customizable.
