 A **Container Engine** is a piece of software that accepts user requests, including command line options, pulls images, and from the end user’s perspective runs the [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​c:​container|container]]. There are many container engines, including [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​d:​docker|docker]],​ RKT, CRI-O, and LXD. Also, many cloud providers, Platforms as a Service (PaaS), and Container Platforms have their own built-in container engines which consume Docker or OCI compliant Container Images. Having an industry standard Container Image Format allows [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​i:​interoperability|interoperability]] between all of these different platforms. A **Container Engine** is a piece of software that accepts user requests, including command line options, pulls images, and from the end user’s perspective runs the [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​c:​container|container]].
