Summary

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.

This package does not include all of the security features of an official

release. It is not production ready without additional sandboxing.
