QEMU is more well-known and tested than Firecracker; i.e., a hacked version is used in Xen. Cloud Hypervisor, Dragonball, and StratoVirt aren't well-known or battle-tested IMO. The problem is none of these possess true manageability and isolation features of any solid type 1 hypervisor which makes Kata a user-space application rather than a reliable platform with harder resource isolation guarantees.
