Since Firecracker's release at re:Invent 2018, several open-source teams have built on it, while AWS has continued investing in Firecracker's speed. In this session, we start by discussing Weave Ignite from Weaveworks, which unifies containers and VMs using Firecracker microVMs with OCI images, containerd, and CNI. Leigh Capili (DevAdv) demos how to launch apps from Git using Kubernetes orchestration, Ignite virtualization, and GitOps management. In the second part, Alexandra Iordache (Firecracker maintainer) showcases Firecracker's new snapshotting capability in which resuming execution from a microVM image takes milliseconds, and demos using snapshots to burst-start live microVMs on a single host.
