Any particular reason why you want this with microVMs? Security (kernel separation) or snapshot support perhaps?
A friend already made something similar for personal use, but using docker containers hardened with gVisor.

Can you please not post AI-generated or AI-edited comments to HN? It's not allowed here - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#generated and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340079.
Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what was LLM processed or not, but some (not all!) of your posts are getting classified that way.
You obviously have good points to make and are certainly welcome here! but if you'd please write text by hand which you plan to post to HN itself, we'd appreciate it. The community feels strongly about this right now.

I'm using https://coder.com for all my development containers. I've got mine hooked up to a k8s cluster, but anything that you can provision with Terraform can be used (e.g. docker containers).

I am working on https://github.com/isola-run/isola which uses gVisor (not firecracker) on k8s (or something like kind, locally). Includes snapshotting, network controls and everything. Hope you could find this useful

This looks interesting. With auth and certs we might have something equivalent!

firecraker is optimized for lambda. ie: fire and forget. not so much live systems that maintain long running state. also, I dont' think you can run it on top of a hypervisor.

+1 for this. Looking for something like exe.dev. self hosted .
I tried using ionos cloud VPS , 4gig one could not handle even 3 basic web servers.
Anyone building or using a project like this?
