What do you like best about runc?

I like how it is a lightweight version of docker. This way it is cost saving for deployments to places such as aws. Due to the structure of aws which everyone is going for. The more space a container needs usually means the more cost it is and also the longer it takes to start up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about runc?

I dislike that because it is a lightweight version of docker some stuff that was made for docker might not work correctly without much changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering runc:

Make sure to first use docker to get an idea of how to make and run a container. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is runc solving and how is that benefiting you?
