Firecracker – Lightweight Virtualization for Serverless Computing | AWS News Blogfirecracker-microvm/firecracker: Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing @ GitHub
"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.
The main component of Firecracker is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that uses the Linux Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) to create and run microVMs."
