Singularity is designed to be simple. From its build syntax, to its image format, the runtime, and compatibility with OCI and Docker, Singularity facilitates easy and
intuitive onboarding.
SIF can squashfs, encapsulate and sign Docker and OCI image formats (encryption coming soon)
Docker, OCI, etc... Singularity
Singularity container images are immutable, cryptographically signed, and verifiable, ensuring absolute trust and bit for bit reproducibility of the container environment.
Note: Singularity uses no tarballs and thus no unsigned intermediate data

Why you (admin) care Why you (user) cares
CI/CD Tools
Fewer problems to debug on system due to emphasis on testing procedures
Repeatable process for going from idea -> test -> results -> publish

Repeatable process for going from idea -> test -> results -> publish
Image Library
Trivial mechanism for facilitating archiving code & improved auditability
Software goes from “magic build box” -> “big computer” instantly
