The Future of Containers - Part 2 - Making Sense of MicroVMs (continued)

Episode • Jan 22, 2020 • 1h 0m

In this episode, we cover the following topics:

We revisit a misunderstanding from last week's show to find out exactly what the Firecracker team means when they list "Single VM per Firecracker process" as a security benefit.
We discuss what's next on the Firecracker product roadmap, with particular emphasis on support for snapshot/restore.
We learn how AWS uses Firecracker in production today with AWS Lambda.
AWS is currently working on updating Fargate to use Firecracker. We look at why they are doing this and the design details of updating Fargate to use Firecracker.
We finish by looking at how you can use Firecracker for your own containers, by incorporating Firecracker-aware tooling into your container infrastructure. Specifically, we look at firecracker-containerd and Weave Ignite.
