    Build firecracker vmms from dockerfiles. Learned a ton, never did anything with it but I want believe it influenced a bunch of people to look deeper into firecracker.

    A Dockerfile is just a file with a bunch of commands to execute and get a working "computer". https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild is fairly aged translation of the Dockerfile to a VM rootfs.

    Regarding turning Dockerfiles into a MicroVM: https://gruchalski.com/posts/2021-03-23-introducing-firebuil..., on GitHub: https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild. This could get you started.

    Maybe you need firecracker with something along the lines of https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild?

    I was the one who posted that question and I deleted it because I understood I was asking to compare apple to oranges. Firecracker uses KVM under the hood. With regards to the overhead, sure, there's going to be resources needed but firecracker is pretty good at running VMs will low level overhead. We're talking thousands on a single host.

    I've done some fair share of evaluating firecracker for https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild and the need to provision is red herring. firebuild can run a VM directly from a Dockerfile and Docker image. Fly.io team does something similar. It's basically a fully functional app out of the container within a matter of milliseconds.

    What would be nice is to see a direct comparison between your solution and firecracker.

  • Docker Without Docker

    I am working on something like this: https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild.

    From a Dockerfile, it's not as simple without creating an image first.
