What is the status of hardware acceleration for micro-VMs? I know that Firecracker doesn't have GPU support yet, are there any other options that handle this?

- tptacek 4y agoIt's a good question. GPUs are in some ways a difficult case for the Firecracker model, which prizes a minimal, mostly memory-safe attack surface that (critically) is easy to reason about. We'd very much like to get an instance or machine type that supports GPUs, but we perceive it as a Big Project. We might not even use Firecracker to do it when we finally get it rolling. If you're reading this and have big thoughts on how we might do GPUs at Fly.io without keeping us up at night about security, you should reach out; we're hiring.
