Firecracker microVM is a virtual machine monitor that allows you to create and manage microVMs. It leverages the Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) and utilizes a minimalist design for increased security. As firecracker microVMs do not include unnecessary devices and guest functionality, they provide a reduced memory footprint and attack surface area. The firecracker architecture is used by and integrated with several infrastructure solutions such as appfleet, containerd, fly.io, and OpenNebula. In this article, we will be building a firecracker containerd microVM and scan it for any known vulnerabilities with MergeBase.
