We replaced Firecracker with QEMU

"the fork was very very bad for eating soup - this is a story about how we migrated to a spoon"

...firecracker does fine what it was designed to - short running fast start workloads.

(oh, and the article starts by slightly misusing a bunch of technical terms, firecracker's not technically a hypervisor per se)

>>lessal+5f
..so is it more to support directly deploying functions to the cloud? Like, what AWS Lambda and CloudFront Functions might be built on?

>>sheeps+vg
I'm pretty sure firecracker was literally created to underlie AWS Lambda.

That being said, firecracker also runs long-running tasks on AWS in the form of Fargate
