Deep Dive into Firecracker-Containerd

Dive deep into the architecture of the firecracker-containerd project in this 49-minute Docker conference talk. Explore how Amazon's Firecracker Virtual Machine Manager optimizes lightweight, container-like "micro"-VMs built on the Linux KVM subsystem. Learn about the standard containerd architecture with the reference OCI runtime, challenges in adapting containers to micro-VMs, and the components of the firecracker-containerd suite. Discover topics such as automation, containers on Linux, security, modularity, and the differences between containers and Firecracker. Gain insights into the current status, future goals, challenges, and community aspects of the project. Presented by Samuel Karp from AWS, this comprehensive session covers everything from introduction to stress processes, security boundaries, and concludes with a Q&A and session survey.
