About Clear Containers

https://lwn.net/Articles/644675/

Clear Containers leverage the isolation of virtual-machine technology along with the deployment benefits of containers. The security of containers is improved by using Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT). The optimization of key components results in slimmer, simpler, safer and substantially speedier virtualization.
