Docker Compose vs Katacontainers: What are the differences?
Developers describe Docker Compose as "Define and run multi-container applications with Docker". With Compose, you define a multi-container application in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command which does everything that needs to be done to get it running. On the other hand, Katacontainers is detailed as "Open source project delivering the security of VMs with the speed of containers". It is an open source container runtime, building lightweight virtual machines that seamlessly plug into the containers ecosystem.
Docker Compose and Katacontainers can be primarily classified as "Container" tools.
Docker Compose is an open source tool with 20.3K GitHub stars and 3.29K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Docker Compose's open source repository on GitHub.
