Weird thing about this project is that neither the website (https://drasi.io) or the repo (https://github.com/drasi-project/drasi-platform) mention that it's a Microsoft project.

Also the only cloud provider it has installation instructions for is AWS's EKS platform. Yet it has integration instructions for Azure CosmosDb Gremlin API.

That one customer out there using EKS and Gremlin on CosmosDb is probably over the moon right now.

fly.io uses Firecracker. Firecracker is Open Sourced with an Apache 2 license. It's faster than LightVM mentioned in the post.

Firecracker also has containerd support (https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-container...).

There are a few ways to run Kubernetes with Firecracker, including FireKube.

Not sure an OS created to meet the specific need of VC funded startup, created exclusively by employees of that company should be called a "community Linux".

It's almost the opposite of that in fact.
