Show HN: Kern – container and resource runtime in a 1.5 MB binary, no daemon

2026-08-24 @ 18:24:59Points: 43Comments: 6

It's a single 1.5MB Rust binary using OCI images, cgroup v2, and namespaces. Boxes start in ~3.5ms. It's not a Kubernetes CRI or a microVM, just a standalone container and resource runtime for CLI and agents.
