An alternative name for it was Kata Containers, but it was hampered a bit about it (kata) being broken...
Currently there is no way to select the runtime, between runc/runv/runq etc, it is a hardcoded string
But the goal for it was to default to a VM runtime - since it is trying to behave like the Apple Containers
