Remote Code Execution as a Service

I had the impression that's what fly.io was doing.

Converting Docker images to run in VMs instead of containers.

Fly uses Firecracker like AWS Lambda, not full-fledged VMs like EC2.

That’s not accurate. Fly creates a FC VM from a Dockerfile but injects a pid1 supervisor and behaves more like EC2 than Lambda (no 15 mins execution limit for instance).
