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).

Execute Docker Containers as QEMU MicroVMs
There are a few existing projects out there like this if folks are interested. Slim [0] is the one I can remember off the top of my head. I think there are a couple more.
Still, neat to have the walkthrough here in this post.
