It is accurate with a charitable reading, and not accurate with an uncharitable one.
> Firecracker is comparable to QEMU
This is charitably true. They can be used for similar high-level tasks, and thus they are reasonably comparable.

Both qemu and firecracker use KVM, it happens that qemu supports other hypervisors/options.
"utilize KVM" does not have to be read uncharitably as _only_ uses that.

- hun3 4y agoIdeally, the OP should have clarified it as "QEMU-KVM", since QEMU has a plethora of other use cases than a VMM (e.g. qemu-user, qemu atop Hyper-V/Xen/Hypervisor.Framework, cross-architecture emulation) that are more-or-less used just as often. It shouldn't be a problem for already knowledgeable readers, but it _might_ give false impression that QEMU only works as a KVM-only VMM monitor to others.
