firecracker

We have hosted the application firecracker in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about firecracker:

Firecracker is an open-source virtualization technology developed by AWS for deploying secure micro-VMs (microVMs) that offer strong isolation with minimal overhead. Designed for serverless workloads (e.g., AWS Lambda, Fargate), it combines VM-level security with container-like performance and startup speed.

Features:

• Creates lightweight microVMs with KVM-based hardware isolation
• Extremely fast startup and low memory footprint for serverless tasks
• Minimalist design reduces attack surface and resource usage
• Useful for multi-tenant, secure compute platforms
• Integrates with container orchestration tools like Kubernetes
• Written in Rust/Python for performance and reliability

Programming Language: Rust.
