readyA container is a way to package a process and its dependencies while applying isolation and resource controls. On Linux, containers commonly use namespaces to present scoped views of resources and control groups to account for or limit resource consumption. Containers generally share the host kernel.

Use the stages in order to explain containers package processes with shared-kernel isolation. Each stage makes one assumption visible: what the operation promises, what representation it uses, how state changes, which boundary can invalidate a shortcut, and what evidence confirms the result.
