+# Dragonball
+
+## Introduction
+Dragonball Sandbox is a light-weight virtual machine manager(VMM) based on Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine(KVM),
+which is optimized for container workloads with:
+- container image management and acceleration service
+- flexible and high-performance virtual device drivers
+- low cpu & memory overhead
+- industry-leading startup time
+- high concurrent startup throughput
+
+Dragonball Sandbox aims to provide a turnkey solution for the Kata Containers community. It is integrated into Kata 3.0
+runtime as a built-in VMM and gives users an out-of-the-box Kata Containers experience without complex environment setup
+and configuration process.
