Firecracker microVMs run-time

Previously, almost over a year ago, Amazon developed in Rust and open sourced a lightweight microVM run-time & monitor, based on KVM hypervisor, for AWS cloud infrastructure and FaaS/serverless environments of AWS Lambda/Fargate/ECS - the Firecracker project - and continue to use Rust in development of tools, performance/latency critical and real-time components (with guaranteed response time, like diagnostics logs and metrics aggregation tools) of the AWS infrastructure.

WeaveWorks FireKube & Ignite

Some of companies and projects, like WeaveWorks, already caught initiative, as they sees and feels much perspective in micro VMs for the future of clustering cloud infrastructures, started to explore and uses abilities of contanerd to develop the integration tools between Kubernetes and Firecracker, like Ignite and FireKube:

🧨 GOTO Amsterdam 2019 :: Firecracker for serverless @ AWS

Great talk and presentation about Firecracker on recent GOTO Amsterdam 2019 conference from guys, who are closest to the project at Amazon — Radu Weiss (Software Development Manager at AWS, Firecracker team member) and Arun Gupta (Principal Open Source Technologist at Amazon Web Services), who's joined in the second part of the speech.
