Specific performance and compatibility issues are generally tracked +there. [GitHub Milestones][milestones] may be used to track larger features that +span many issues. However, labels are also used to aggregate cross-cutting +feature work. + +## Core Improvements + +Most gVisor work is focused on four areas. + +* [Performance][performance]: overall sandbox performance, including platform + performance, is a critical area for investment. This includes: network + performance (throughput and latency), file system performance (metadata and + data I/O), application switch and fault costs, etc. The goal of gVisor is to + provide sandboxing without a material performance or efficiency impact on + all but the most performance-sensitive applications. + +* [Compatibility][compatibility]: supporting a wide range of applications + requires supporting a large system API, including special system files (e.g. + proc, sys, dev, etc.). The goal of gVisor is to support the broad set of + applications that depend on a generic Linux API, rather than a specific + kernel version. + +* [Infrastructure & tooling][infrastructure]: the above goals require + aggressive testing and coverage, and well-established processes. This + includes adding appropriate system call coverage, end-to-end suites and + runtime tests. + +* [Integration][integration]: Container infrastructure is evolving rapidly and + becoming more complex, and gVisor must continuously implement relevant and + popular features to ensure that integration points remain robust and + feature-complete while preserving security guarantees. + +## Releases + +Releases are available on [GitHub][releases]. + +As a convenience, binary packages are also published. Instructions for their use +are available via the [Installation instructions](./user_guide/install.md). + +[issues]: https://github.com/google/gvisor/issues +[milestones]: https://github.com/google/gvisor/milestones +[releases]: https://github.com/google/gvisor/releases +[performance]: https://github.com/google/gvisor/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22area%3A+performance%22 +[integration]: https://github.com/google/gvisor/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22area%3A+integration%22 +[compatibility]: https://github.com/google/gvisor/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22area%3A+compatibility%22 +[infrastructure]: https://github.com/google/gvisor/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22area%3A+tooling%22 |
