Thanks for your work on Firecracker. One big remaining hurdle is for virtualization to be enabled by default on users' systems. WHP is fortunately easy to enable, but still an extra step that users probably won't understand the implications of. KVM seems more hit-or-miss. Some distros allow read/write to /dev/kvm by default. Others require jumping through udev hoops or similar. If virtualization is disabled in the BIOS/UEFI you have a much harder problem to solve.
Are there security implications to enabling this stuff by default, or do vendors disable it just out of habit? Do you think there's any chance of virtualization being enabled by default becoming the norm?
