- **Sentry**: an application kernel in Go, a language known to be memory-safe. It implements the Linux logic in userspace such as various system calls.
- **Gofer**: a host process which communicates with Sentry and the host filesystem, since Sentry is restricted in that aspect.
A platform like ptrace or KVM is used to intercept system calls and redirect them from the application to Sentry, which is running in the userspace. This has some costs: there is a higher per-syscall overhead, and compatibility is reduced since not all syscalls are implemented. On top of that, gVisor employs security mechanisms we've glanced over above, such as a very restrictive seccomp profile between Sentry and the host kernel, the [new_no_privs bit](https://github.com/google/gvisor/blob/6ef268409620c57197b9d573e23be8cb05dbf381/pkg/sentry/kernel/task_identity.go#L464), and isolated namespaces from the host.

The security model of gVisor is comparable to what you would expect from a virtual machine. It is also very easy to [install and use](https://gvisor.dev/docs/user_guide/install/). The path to runsc along with its different configuration flags (`runsc flags`) should be added to `/etc/docker/daemon.json`:
