Crun: Fast and lightweight OCI runtime and C library for running containers

• youki

  A container runtime written in Rust

  A fast and lightweight fully featured OCI runtime and C library for running containers

Docker also appears to be able to use crun for it's engine as well. https://github.com/containers/crun/issues/37

  CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification
