|---|---|---|
| Purpose | gVisor is an open-source Linux-compatible sandbox and application kernel that isolates containers from the host operating system. | Incus is a system container, application container, and virtual machine manager. |
| Support | The project directs users to GitHub issues, documentation, and mailing lists for support and community discussion. | Community support is available through the Linux Containers forum, and Zabbly provides commercial support for users of its Debian or Ubuntu packages. |
gVisor suits teams running untrusted container workloads on supported Linux hosts, particularly those using Docker or Kubernetes. It may also suit users who need container checkpointing or trace-point output for an external detection engine.
Incus suits developers and operators managing container or virtual-machine workloads who want shared storage and networking, API access and integration options. Its daemon requires Linux, even though client applications are available on other platforms.
