AWS introduced microVMs for its EKS Pods

So-called AWS Nitro Sandboxes became available on Amazon EKS, ECS, and EC2. Now, a single configuration setting (runtimeClassName: isolated-sandbox) brings a Firecracker-based microVM with its own guest kernel into a sandboxed Pod. A common use case for this additional level of isolation is running AI agents.
