gVisor

gVisor is a container runtime developed by Google to isolate containers from the host OS and secure the container execution.

In order to run container in gVisor, the CRI-shim has to have gVisor configured as runtime. This can be done on Talos using the gVisor extension, or on any other host system by following the install instructions.

On hardware deployments, using the KVM platform mode, provides the best isolation by running each individual Pod as a VM on the host system, while utilising all benefits from Containers, like images, networking and storage.
