Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing.

Firecracker is an open source virtualization technology that is purpose-built for creating and managing secure, multi-tenant container and function-based services.

Build single-executable microVMs from Docker images.

Bottlefire turns container images into standalone, zero-dependency Linux executables that bundle Firecracker and launch microVMs automatically.

bake is a Linux CLI tool that can embed microVM resources (firecracker binary, kernel, initrd, boot disk) into itself. It also implements bidirectional communication between VM and host - including networking and directory sharing - entirely in userspace, without requiring root privilege.

Container Machines - Containers that look like Virtual Machines. footloose creates containers that look like virtual machines. Those containers run systemd as PID 1 and a ssh daemon that can be used to login into the container. Such "machines" behave very much like a VM, it's even possible to run dockerd in them :)

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking MicroVMs. Create and manage the lifecycle of MicroVMs backed by containerd.

A streamlined service to manage the lifecycle of microVMs. Flintlock lets you focus on deploying your application in MicroVMs tailored for its need.

The original use case for flintlock was to create microVMs on a bare-metal host where the microVMs will be used as nodes in a virtualized Kubernetes cluster. It is an essential part of Liquid Metal and can be orchestrated by Cluster API Provider Microvm.

Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing. Firecracker is an open source virtualization technology that is purpose-built for creating and managing secure, multi-tenant container and function-based services that provide serverless operational models. Firecracker runs workloads in lightweight virtual machines, called microVMs, which combine the security and isolation properties provided by hardware virtualization technology with the speed and flexibility of containers.
