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.

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).

Blog: KWOK: Kubernetes WithOut Kubelet
Docker Desktop runs dockerd in a Linux VM with Apple's hypervisor framework. You can also run containers in a Linux VM with Parallels or VMware Fusion hypervisors. But you can't run VMs inside those VMs as it stands today. This works fine on Intel Macs which means you can't experiment and use KVM - one of the killer features of Linux and things like https://kubevirt.io/
What are some alternatives?
firecracker - Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing.
harvester - Open source hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software
libkrunfw - A dynamic library bundling the guest payload consumed by libkrun
firecracker-containerd - firecracker-containerd enables containerd to manage containers as Firecracker microVMs
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/
slim - Build and run tiny vms from Dockerfiles. Small and sleek.
lxd - Powerful system container and virtual machine manager [Moved to: https://github.com/canonical/lxd]
krunvm - Create microVMs from OCI images
k3s - Lightweight Kubernetes
kwarantine - Kwarantine can run strongly isolated containers in a multi-tenant setting
cloud-hypervisor - A Virtual Machine Monitor for modern Cloud workloads. Features include CPU, memory and device hotplug, support for running Windows and Linux guests, device offload with vhost-user and a minimal compact footprint. Written in Rust with a strong focus on security.
