nestybox is an alternative runc instead of the default containerd which is more hardened, efficient and secure. It even allows you to do a lot of things you normally couldn't without having privileged mode which is great for development and many other functions. However, the only drawback is that you must not have any docker containers already, if so you have to back them up / delete them before proceeding. Step 1.) Get the latest .deb / package:........

For example an identical config of 3 nodes, with Redis 5 with 30 replicas produces a load of about 1.45 in Debian 10 with Docker18.09.1 If I create the same setup on Debian 11, with Docker 20.10.5+dfsg1 then the CPU usage is low. One other difference I wondered is the kernel. In my test setup........
