  From https://e2b.dev/blog/firecracker-vs-qemu https://e2b.dev/blog/firecracker-vs-qemu > AWS built [Firecracker (which is built on KVM)] to power Lambda and Fargate [2], where they need to quickly spin up isolated environments for running customer code. Companies like E2B use Firecracker to run AI generated code securily in the cloud, while Fly.io uses it to run lightweight container-like VMs at the edge [4, 5].
