Getting Towards Real Sandbox Containers

Read Original

This technical article analyzes why current container technologies (like Docker) are not considered true sandboxes, comparing them to the Chrome sandbox. It delves into Linux primitives like user namespaces, seccomp, and cgroups, explaining the privilege differences and the challenges of running containers as an unprivileged user. It also discusses a proof-of-concept tool (binctr) and related development efforts in runc/libcontainer.
