Interesting starter post.. I took this one step further a few years ago to make the init mount various other /proc /sys etc filesystems and boot up with Firecracker - using a container image as a rootfs..

I like this resource for starting a VM from a container image: https://github.com/alexellis/firecracker-init-lab

I'm not the author of this platform or article, but I do follow Ivan and think this is a good read, up to his usual very high standard. I'm particularly interested because I've done a lot to explain and use Firecracker through my own content and products - a lab to convert a Docker image to a microVM - https://github.com/alexellis/firecracker-init-lab A deep-dive webinar on Linux internals and microVMs with myself and Richard Case - we've both built projects/products with Firecracker - Liquid Metal and actuated - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYCsa5e2vqg More recently I spoke at Cloud Native Rejekts on - Face off: VMs vs. Containers vs Firecracker - including why DIND and Privileged containers are a poor fit for CI - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTQ_jVYhAoc
