Containers Were Never
Meant to Be This Heavy
We're not building another cloud platform. We're rebuilding the foundation.
Containers in kilobytes. Deploys in milliseconds. Security by default.
// Docker complexity → ArmoredGate simplicity
$ forge convert nginx:alpine --optimize
✓ Converted: nginx.volt (6.2KB) — 96.8% reduction
# Run locally with Voltainer
$ voltainer run nginx.volt
✓ Started in 95ms — Landlock LSM active
# Or use ArmoredContainers for traditional runtimes
$ forge convert nginx:alpine --format=oci
✓ Built: nginx-armored.tar — single-layer OCI, Docker/Podman ready
The Complete Container Stack
From converting Docker images to deploying at scale — everything you need to run containers the right way.
Voltainer
Containers in kilobytes. Instant cold starts. Zero daemons.
- 3x faster cold starts — 95ms vs Docker's 280ms
- 96% smaller — ship metadata, not filesystems
- No daemon required — just a single binary
- Landlock LSM security built-in by default
ArmoredContainers
Single-layer OCI images for Docker, Podman, and containerd.
- Single-layer images — one layer, no filesystem bloat
- Works with your runtime — Docker, Podman, containerd
- Hardened by default — minimal attack surface
- Battle-tested — running in production for years
ArmoredForge
Convert any image to Voltainer or ArmoredContainers. Your choice.
- Any OCI image — Docker, Podman, any registry
- Two output formats — .volt for Voltainer, .tar for OCI
- Auto-hardening — security policies generated automatically
- Production-ready output with signed manifests
Built for modern infrastructure
Whether you're pushing to the edge or running high-density clusters, Voltainer delivers performance without compromise.
Edge Computing
Deploy to resource-constrained edge nodes with confidence. Tiny manifests and instant starts make Voltainer the obvious choice for edge.
- Manifests under 50KB ship anywhere
- 95ms cold starts for serverless
- Minimal resource footprint
High-Density Hosting
Pack more containers per node without the overhead. Content-addressed storage means shared files are stored once, not duplicated.
- Run 10x more containers per node
- Shared content-addressed storage
- Perfect for SaaS & multi-tenant
Security-First Organizations
Every container ships with kernel-level isolation. No extra tooling, no configuration. Security is the default, not an afterthought.
- Zero-trust by default
- Landlock LSM kernel isolation
- Auditable manifests
DevOps Modernization
Drop Voltainer into your existing stack. Same images, same workflows, dramatically better performance and observability.
- Drop-in Docker replacement
- No workflow changes required
- Better native observability
