I couldn't find a definitive answer, so I'm asking here: How do you pronounce the container runtime runc? As in trunk or as run c (run see)? Or another way I'm overlooking?

I think it's run see

Agreed. I remember all the original blurbs about it calling it runC, so run-see, was just how I understood it.

e.g: https://www.docker.com/blog/runc/
