-Package virtcontainers manages hardware virtualized containers.
-Each container belongs to a set of containers sharing the same networking
-namespace and storage, also known as a sandbox.
-
-Virtcontainers sandboxes are hardware virtualized, i.e. they run on virtual machines.
-Virtcontainers will create one VM per sandbox, and containers will be created as
-processes within the sandbox VM.
-
-The virtcontainers package manages both sandboxes and containers lifecycles.
