Flintlock – Create and manage the lifecycle of MicroVMs, backed by containerd
- ofrzeta 1y agoFirst time I hear about the "Cloud Hypervisor" https://www.cloudhypervisor.org/ https://www.cloudhypervisor.org/. It's really hard to keep up with all new stuff in the field.
- tptacek 1y agoCloud Hypervisor has been around for years. It's a very similar Rust codebase to Firecracker (and shares libraries). People use it because it supports PCI passthrough.
- rzzzt 1y ago"Backed by containerd" confused me until I found this snippet in the documentation (spoilers: it is used for pulling images amongst other things, but not as a container runtime): https://flintlock.liquidmetal.dev/docs/getting-started/containerd/ https://flintlock.liquidmetal.dev/docs/getting-started/conta...
- dboreham 1y agoThese things are a great idea but it turns out they're always a massive pain to actually use. Until container-as-VM is as easy to get as installing docker, not really viable for mainstream use imho.
- Imustaskforhelp 1y agoSomeone else mentioned about kata and it seems to be pretty interesting imo. What are your thoughts on it?
- stevefan1999 1y agoCompare this with Kata Container?
