Firecracker is a virtual machine monitor that leverages hardware-assisted virtualization to create and manage isolated execution environments. It functions as a lightweight runtime designed to launch virtual machines with minimal memory overhead and near-instantaneous startup times, providing the security of traditional hardware virtualization with the efficiency of containerized workloads. The project distinguishes itself through a security-focused architecture that enforces strict process boundaries using system-level barriers and restricted user privileges. It minimizes the attack surface
Provides strong hardware-level isolation between different users running on the same physical server.
