About SatL

Four pages, in the order they are worth reading if you are deciding whether SatL is for you. They are written to help you decide against it too, where that is the right answer — a container engine you adopt on an accurate picture is worth more to both of us than one you adopt on an optimistic one.

• What SatL is — the model, and the one sentence that reframes it for a Docker user. What that model buys, and what it costs.
• Why FreeBSD — jails, VNET, ZFS, pf and rctl as the substrate; and the four things Linux has that FreeBSD does not, with what SatL does instead of each.
• How it works — the vocabulary the rest of this site uses, and the shape of a node and of a cluster.
• Status — what is built, what is not, in a user's terms.
