- Designed to be managed by external tooling, such as [Infrakit](https://github.com/docker/infrakit) or similar tools
- Includes a set of longer-term collaborative projects in various stages of development to innovate on kernel and userspace changes, particularly around security
LinuxKit currently supports the `x86_64`, `arm64`, and `s390x` architectures on a variety of platforms, both as virtual machines and baremetal (see [below](#booting-and-testing) for details.

### Booting and Testing
You can use `linuxkit run <name>` or `linuxkit run <name>.<format>` to execute the image you created with `linuxkit build <name>.yml`.
This will use a suitable backend for your platform or you can choose one, for example VMWare.
See `linuxkit run --help`.
