 [vminitd](/vminitd) is a small init system, which is a subproject within Containerization.
 `vminitd` is spawned as the initial process inside of the virtual machine and provides a GRPC API over vsock.
 The API allows the runtime environment to be configured and containerized processes to be launched.

 To solve this Containerization provides first class APIs to use different kernel configurations and versions on a per container basis.
 This enables containers to be developed and validated across different kernel versions.
