gVisorgvisor.devgVisor is an open-source Linux‑compatible sandbox that acts as a defense‑in‑depth security layer for containers, isolating the host from applications to safely run untrusted, user‑uploaded, or third‑party code. It runs anywhere Linux does (x86/ARM, on VMs or bare metal) and works with Docker, Kubernetes, and containerd, delivering VM‑like isolation with container‑level efficiency, plus features such as checkpoint/restore and runtime monitoring. It emphasizes secure-by-default operation with strict system‑call filtering and a memory‑safe Go kernel, reducing attack surfaces and supporting GPU/CUDA workloads for secure, multi‑tenant cloud-native environments.

gVisor substantially reduces that exposure by implementing a userspace kernel/Sentry between the workload and host kernel.
gVisor — intercepts many Linux syscalls through a userspace kernel layer and is specifically designed for running untrusted workloads more safely than ordinary containers.
Excerpts where gVisor appeared in the AI's answer
gVisor adds a substantial security boundary, while a Firecracker microVM gives you a separate guest kernel.
gVisor (Self-Hosted) – Best if you want to self-host and manage your own Kubernetes/Docker infrastructure.
