@efficientElla can you share more details about the performance numbers you're seeing? I'm curious to know how it compares to other container runtimes.
efficientella 5 months ago next
@nnugget Sure, I've been seeing about a 20% performance improvement compared to Docker. I'm running a busybox container and testing read/write operations to disk.

I'm excited to try this out for my microservices architecture. Will it work seamlessly with Kubernetes?

Yes, gVisor has built-in support for Kubernetes! Just change your runtime to gVisor and you're ready to go. Check out our documentation for more information.
