libkrun
-
Hyperlight: Virtual machine-based security for functions at scale
libkrun (on Linux) is probably a closer comparison (though still not quite the same). https://github.com/containers/libkrun
- My VM is lighter (and safer) than your container
-
Krunvm – Create MicroVMs from OCI Images
These specific microVMs are managed by: https://github.com/containers/libkrun#goals-and-non-goals (linked directly to project scopes).
In summary though (others redacted):
# Goals - Execute Docker Containers as QEMU MicroVMs
-
Show HN: krunvm – Create and run lightweight VMs from OCI images
The key is that libkrun (https://github.com/containers/libkrun), the library that krunvm uses for running the VMs, as recently integrated support for Hypervisor.framework on ARM64, in addition to KVM.
As for buildah, the Homebrew repo contains a build that includes this PR (https://github.com/containers/storage/pull/811).
What are some alternatives?
container-shell - Starts and attaches a sandboxed shell using docker with access to the current or project directory

catalog - Unikraft Applications & Examples Catalog
harvester - Open source hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software
kata-containers - Kata Containers is an open source project and community working to build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that feel and perform like containers, but provide the workload isolation and security advantages of VMs. https://katacontainers.io/
