VM-Level Isolation

Isolation of X-Containers is ensured by an exokernel with small attack surface and trusted computing base (TCB).

Each X-Container runs with a dedicated Library OS optimized for performance.

X-Containers can install Linux kernel modules and tune its own Linux kernel.

X-Containers can run efficiently in VMs in the cloud. No requirement on hardware-assisted virtualization support.

X-Containers are 100% compatible with ANY Docker containers.

Scale as you want, with good performance isolation.
