  Have you measured the performance difference between your system and Firecracker? I'm interested in knowing more about how you're quantifying this. As I said, it'd be easier to engage with this if your technical overview was public. It's also a little tricky to get my head around how you're simultaneously winning on I/O performance by not virtualizing it, and also shielding me from host kernel vulnerabilities. Some of that I/O overhead you're talking about is spent in the service of putting a security boundary between my guests and my host.

    Yes, we will post the numbers soon. However, what I was alluding to in my last comment was that FC runtime performance is far from native (i.e., no VMs). Therefore, there's definitely room for improvement. Depending on the use case, that may or may not be meaningful.

      Looking forward to seeing more about this. Thanks!
