      Epic Goal

      • Get crun tested with a long running cluster
      • Switch to crun in our CI cluster

      Why is this important?

      • While most of the tools used in the Linux containers ecosystem are written in Go, I believe C is a better fit for a lower level tool like a container runtime. runc, the most used implementation of the OCI runtime specs written in Go, re-execs itself and use a module written in C for setting up the environment before the container process starts.

      crun aims to be also usable as a library that can be easily included in programs without requiring an external process for managing OCI containers.

      • crun is faster than runc and has a much lower memory footprint.

      This is the elapsed time on my machine for running sequentially 100 containers, the containers run /bin/true:

        crun runc %
      100 /bin/true 0:01.69 0:3.34 -49.4%
