Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Savings cost for self managed K8s?
My team is working on multi-cloud AWS Bottlerocket remix (Azure, GCP) with opt-in support for [firecracker-containerd](https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-containerd) for our in-house CNCF distro, investigating microkernels applicability (tldr; they are not production-ready). We test kubernetes compat and migration plans for over 40+ cherry-picked solutions, and facing numerous compat issues for every k8s update. We do have support for Container Managed Control Planes described above, as well.

Multi-tenancy in Kubernetes
You could use a container sandbox like gVisor, light virtual machines as containers (Kata containers, firecracker + containerd) or full virtual machines (virtlet as a CRI).

Is Fargate just a part of ECS?
Exactly, it is about secure multi-tennancy. If I recall correctly firecracker doesn't replace containerd, microVMs still runs some sort of it. Anyway, you still need a base OS because container doesn't have the whole OS image. Also I think you can have multiple containers in a single Fargate task so they have to be isolated too.

Firecracker MicroVMs
How does that compare to firecracker-containerd?
https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-container...
This repository enables the use of a container runtime, containerd, to manage Firecracker microVMs. Like traditional containers, Firecracker microVMs offer fast start-up and shut-down and minimal overhead. Unlike traditional containers, however, they can provide an additional layer of isolation via the KVM hypervisor.

Docker Without Docker
Super great write up. This really took me back to my days of working on the container platform behind CloudFoundry.
In particular, we also used to use loop devices [1] but with AUFS mounted on them.
Later we moved over to BTRFS and then Overlay on XFS [2] to help with our unprivileged (security) story.
Also, this was a great piece of technical writing. Thanks for sharing!
