Intel has recently started pushing Clear Linux, something similar to Ubuntu Snappy, Red Hat Atomic Host, or CoreOS.

Quoting Imad Sousou of Intel, on his blog post on this topic:

“Intel Clear Containers address security concerns surrounding the popular container model for application deployment. Intel’s approach with these containers offers enhanced protection using security rooted in hardware. By using virtualization technology features (VT-x) embedded in the silicon, we can deliver improved security and isolation advantages of virtualization technology for a containerized application. Intel Clear Containers provide a secure, fast Virtual Machine (VM) with a small memory footprint, allowing for more VMs per physical machine.”
