I was going to add a comment praising smolmachines' smolvms. Simple, fast (sub-200ms cold start), OCI-compat, and has trivial packing to standalone 0-dep executables. No need for Docker Desktop / colima / orbstack. For those who prioritize security, kernel isolation is a meaningful benefit.

No programmable network stack though, so can't pass fake credentials to things inside vm and exchange them on the boundary

Hmm. I wonder if use of env vars might help solve for related use cases.
