I tidied a mess in my head around container runtimes, like:

  • high-level vs low-level container runtimes
  • what is the difference between container engine and runtime
  • what tools do represent what kind of tooling
  • and standards provided fist by Docker, then by Open Container Initiative.

And now, I would like to share this knowledge with you in my spick and span post on dev.to: dev.to/zdybit/container-runtime-vo...

I even prepared a schema for you to organize stuff even more:

Oh rock on! Loving the schema, this looks like a great resource for better understanding container runtime & Docker.

Thank you.
Yeah, I tried to make it clear and consistent.
The topic seems to be not such interesting as containers and images themselves (BTW, I described them and put them into a similar schema in the first post of the series), but it is significant to get know before you would like to learn Docker components and how you can replace them with Open Source alternatives, like Podman. But this it the topic to another post I which is supposed to be the third part.
