New Blog - Boot a VM in 3 Seconds
Woof. This made my brain hurt over a few weeks between delighting customers, but I persevered.
Firecracker is the tiny, lightweight VM technology behind AWS Lambda "serverless" Function as a Service. You can run these tiny, tiny, fast VMs on-premises if that solves a business problem.
Anyway, here is an actual working tutorial that I wrote as most of the major tutorials out there did not work for me. Enjoy.
