The author has carried out an assessment of how the use of the ARM assisted hardware virtualisation (normally used to isolate and run VM's but not containers) affects different metrics of running different runtimes in a container environment that is aware of and that can take advantage of the hardware virtualisation features:
Kata Container is a secure container runtime that uses hardware virtualization technology as an additional layer of defense. This allows it to provide stronger workload isolation while still being lightweight and performing like regular containers.
The author uses WASM runtimes as a conduit, and concludes the article with a compilation of results and the impact on each metric, namely: boot times, security, the ease of development in each setup, production readiness amongst others. The author does compare raw computational performance of each option, and it does not appear to be an objective.
The article title could have been better worded, though.
