Singularity is a containerization technology designed for high-performance computing (HPC) environments. It allows users to create and run containers that package applications and their dependencies, ensuring reproducibility and portability across different systems without requiring root access.
About Singularity
Singularity was created in 2015 to address the needs of the high-performance computing (HPC) community. It aimed to provide a secure and efficient containerization solution that allowed users to run applications with all their dependencies without requiring root privileges, thereby ensuring reproducibility and portability across different systems.
Strengths of Singularity include security, ease of use in HPC environments, and support for reproducibility and portability without requiring root access. Weaknesses include a smaller ecosystem compared to Docker and limited support for non-HPC use cases. Competitors include Docker, Kubernetes, and Podman.
