Container runtime
A container runtime is software that creates, executes, and manages application containers using operating-system isolation mechanisms and container images.

A container runtime is software that creates and executes containers using operating-system isolation mechanisms.
- How it is used
- Runs packaged applications locally and in production to reduce differences between development and cloud execution.
- How deep it goes
- Explains host-kernel sharing and image-based containers, then walks through local execution and deployment; defers Kubernetes operations.
- Examples
- Uses a Go service built with `pack`, run with Docker, and deployed to Cloud Run with an endpoint check.
- What you can do after
- Apply it via Docker and Cloud Run to run a built image locally and deploy it through a pipeline.

A container runtime is software that creates and runs application containers from container images.
- How it is used
- Deploys a packaged Rust web service by instantiating Docker images on a host.
- How deep it goes
- Explains image-to-container instantiation and deployment configuration, but stops short of runtime internals.
- Examples
- Uses a Rust server image, Docker containers, and a Postgres container in a deployment configuration.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure Docker containers by building images and starting or stopping service and database containers.
