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/

firecracker-containerd
firecracker-containerd enables containerd to manage containers as Firecracker microVMs
-
WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Kubernetes using Kata containers as a containerd backend
https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/blob/main...
Take a look at Weaveworks Ignite for an open source tool for running Firecracker VMs from container images: https://github.com/weaveworks/ignite
And of course AWS Fargate and Lambda use this tech under the hood transparently, so that's always an option if you don't want to host and operate it yourself.
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.
