+## What is IOS XR 64-bit?
+
+Before you begin, it is essential that you are familiar with IOS XR 64-bit.
+
+The 64-bit IOS XR uses a hypervisor to offer you the provision of creating your own build environment, spinning up your own Linux Container (LXC), or using a docker for hosting applications. XR uses a Windriver Linux Yocto distribution, and is designed to be flexible to the needs of an Application Developer.
