    Liz Rice live-codes a minimal container runtime in a few lines of Go at GOTO Amsterdam 2018. She explains namespaces, control groups and what a host knows about its containers.

    HN considers it one of the best talks for understanding how containers work from the ground up.

    1. @smoldesuMay 2022· in “Ask HN: Best educational courses/MOOCs/videos/blogs/books taught by a Female?”

      Indeed a bit of an odd request, but I'm partial to Liz Rice's "Containers from Scratch" talk. Probably one of the most enlightening presentations I've seen in recent years, full-stop. [0] this video

    3. @pss314Mar 2025· in “Building a Linux Container Runtime from Scratch”

      I loved this hands-on presentation Containers From Scratch by Liz Rice from few years ago this video . Today, Linux containers in (less than) 100 lines of shell by Michael Kerrisk was published [LINK] .

      This will be a fun read, thanks! If you'd prefer to see the same ideas in video form, Liz Rice gave a pretty good prsentation on this same topic in 2018: this video
