## App Container
rkt is an implementation of the [App Container spec](Documentation/app-container.md). rkt's native image format (ACI) and execution environment (pods) are defined in the specification.
## Project status
rkt is at an early stage and under active development. We do not recommend its use in production, but we encourage you to try out rkt and provide feedback via issues and pull requests.
## Trying out rkt
The CLI for rkt is called `rkt`, and is currently supported on amd64 Linux. A modern kernel is required but there should be no other system dependencies. We recommend booting up a fresh virtual machine to test out rkt.
