+# Why gVisor?
+
+gVisor makes a different set of technical trade-offs compared to existing
+sandbox technologies, thus providing new tools and ideas for the container
+security landscape.
+
+As the developers of gVisor, we wanted an execution environment that was secure,
+simple, and lightweight and were able to make trade offs in other areas. We were
+not able to achieve that with existing solutions.
