# libcontainer: what's next?
|
||
|
||
This document is a high-level overview of where we want to take libcontainer next.
|
||
It is a curated selection of planned improvements which are either important, difficult, or both.
|
||
|
||
For a more complete view of planned and requested improvements, see [the Github issues](https://github.com/docker/libcontainer/issues).
|
||
|
||
To suggest changes to the roadmap, including additions, please write the change as if it were already in effect, and make a pull request.

## Broader kernel support
|
||
|
||
Our goal is to make libcontainer run everywhere, but currently libcontainer requires Linux version 3.8 or higher. If you’re deploying new machines for the purpose of running libcontainer, this is a fairly easy requirement to meet. However, if you’re adding libcontainer to an existing deployment, you may not have the flexibility to update and patch the kernel.

|
||
## Cross-architecture support
|
||
|
||
Our goal is to make libcontainer run everywhere. However currently libcontainer only runs on x86_64 systems. We plan on expanding architecture support, so that libcontainer containers can be created and used on more architectures.
