Any tooling like Docker/Podman to make it as easy to kick off Firecracker VMs as it is to kick off containers?




Kata containers sound interesting, but the first thing that hits you when checking the "learn more" section is the fact that the latest entry in their "news" section dates back to January 2019. Is the project still maintained?




Not a drop-in replacement: the OCI image entry point is not automatically executed.

Issue opened in 2021: https://github.com/weaveworks/ignite/issues/874


Doesn't seem to be actively developed. Last commit is over 4 months


It's pretty much unmaintained, but it does still work!


Yeah, I think it's strange that no one wants to improve on something like this. I can see a lot of use cases where you would want to just use one kubernetes cluster but have support for multi-tenancy with pods being isolated.


There is this project, which I have never used, but seems promising. https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-container...
