gVisor

User-space kernel that runs as a sandbox layer between containers and the host kernel.

gVisor implements a subset of the Linux syscall surface in user space, intercepting container syscalls and forwarding only safe ones to the host. Stronger than vanilla Docker sandboxing for adversarial workloads. Used by IronClaw and several enterprise self-hosted AI deployments.
