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).

Execute Docker Containers as QEMU MicroVMs
No, gVisor is from Google. They emulate system calls in user-space and use VMs, which increases runtime performance overhead. We use hardware virtualization to directly run containers -- no I/O emulation, no expensive VM exits, scale as needed. Initial comparison with FC/GVisor/Xen here: https://github.com/ashishbijlani/kwarantine
