Description
NsJail (https://github.com/google/nsjail) is a cgroup- and namespace-based sandbox helper that resembles isolate a lot. We might want to play with it a bit to see how the two compare. It also comes with a nice syscall filtering library, Kafel (https://github.com/google/kafel).

Research direction
Start by reading the NsJail project and its Kafel syscall-filtering library, then compare their cgroup, namespace, and syscall-filtering capabilities with isolate. The issue does not name an entry point, file, test, or acceptance criteria; completion would require an agreed comparison and decision about whether CMS should pursue NsJail as a sandbox provider.
