will code your own container by applying the concepts learnt in the previous chapters. On
completion of the book  you will have the knowledge to start coding a Linux container. What You
Will Learn Understand the basics of virtualization Discover how the Linux kernel supports
virtualization See how the evolution of the Linux kernel and CPUs led to the creation of
containerization technologies Develop the ability to create your own container framework Who
