Lambda and Fargate use the Firecracker VM https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/ https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/ Firecracker is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that uses the Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) to create and manage microVMs. Firecracker has a minimalist design. It excludes unnecessary devices and guest functionality to reduce the memory footprint and attack surface area of each microVM “How AWS’s Firecracker Virtual Machines work” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BIRv2FnHJAg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BIRv2FnHJAg The Lambda service team always emphasizes the level of isolation that Firecracker VMs gives you that containers don’t.
