thank you very much for the detail there. I assume you would also know very well how a docker container would compare to firecracker in terms of boot time. I understand that a container and a VM are not the same thing but just curious

The overhead to starting a docker container is practically zero. A new namespace and a few overlayfs mounts are virtually instantaneous. Roughly speaking, once the kernel has booted inside a VM, it launches the first process which would be the “container” for a “firecracker container”. Certainly possible to get kernel boot times below 1 second.
