+gVisor is a user-space kernel, written in Go, that implements a substantial
+portion of the [Linux system call interface][linux]. It provides an additional
+layer of isolation between running applications and the host operating system.
+
+gVisor includes an [Open Container Initiative (OCI)][oci] runtime called `runsc`
+that makes it easy to work with existing container tooling. The `runsc` runtime
+integrates with Docker and Kubernetes, making it simple to run sandboxed
+containers.
+
+gVisor takes a distinct approach to container sandboxing and makes a different
+set of technical trade-offs compared to existing sandbox technologies, thus
+providing new tools and ideas for the container security landscape.
+
+gVisor can be used with Docker, Kubernetes, or directly using `runsc`. Use the
+links below to see detailed instructions for each of them:
+
+* [Docker](./user_guide/quick_start/docker/): The quickest and easiest way to
+ get started.
+* [Kubernetes](./user_guide/quick_start/kubernetes/): Isolate Pods in your K8s
+ cluster with gVisor.
+* [OCI Quick Start](./user_guide/quick_start/oci/): Expert mode. Customize
+ gVisor for your environment.
