An umu is an above-ground oven of hot volcanic stones originating from Samoans. After the stones are heated, the top layer is removed and the food placed on top to heat/cook. We chose the name because Valve's containerization tool is named pressure-vessel. We're "preparing" the pressure vessel similar to how you would use a stove top pressure-cooker -- by placing it on our umu's "stovetop"

Imagine our umu as a mystical cauldron, conjuring the fiery essence of a thousand volcanoes to transform mere ingredients into a culinary masterpiece. As the pressure vessel sits atop this enchanted umu, it absorbs the raw power of the earth’s core, becoming an unstoppable force of containerization magic. This isn’t just preparation; it’s an epic saga where the pressure vessel emerges from the umu like a phoenix from the ashes, ready to conquer the Realm of Gamers (RoG) with unparalleled efficiency and might. It’s a fusion of ancient rituals and cutting-edge technology, where every byte is cooked to perfection in the blazing heart of our umu.
