    openEuler containers and iSula

    openEuler’s container story has its own component family — iSula for containers, StratoVirt for lightweight VMs. This page covers positioning and where everything is published.

    The openEuler-24.03-LTS repo tree carries a docker_img directory (container image publishing) and a stratovirt_img directory (lightweight-VM images) — base images come from the official tree, not third-party registries.

    The docs center’s Cloud scenario provides comprehensive guides for deploying containers and clusters — iSula and Kubernetes setup live there; this page covers positioning only.

    iSula is the community’s container engine (a lightweight C/C++ implementation) competing with Docker/Podman; StratoVirt is a microVM-style lightweight hypervisor between containers and full KVM. Capability details belong to the official docs — this site makes no capability claims.

    Generic runtime comparisons live on the hub: Podman and Docker vs Podman.

    Base images follow the release line (the docker_img directory): pin tags, rebuild on announcements, never hot-patch running containers. Cloud-side image forms are covered in Cloud and images.

    Image variants across scenarios are covered in Cloud and images; the KVM side of the stack in Virtualization. Upstream documentation lives in the docs center’s Cloud scenario and the openEuler repo tree.

    The openEuler mark belongs to the OpenAtom Foundation. Built by the community for Chinese-speaking operators, this site is an independent documentation effort — neither affiliated with nor endorsed by the OpenAtom Foundation or the openEuler project.
