Lately, I have been trying to understand the security aspect of docker containers, and what I have realized is that all docker containers share the host's kernel. Any zero day vulnerability in the kernel can be used to gain access to the host os.

In order to deal with this, I did some research turns out Amazon has open sourced the core technology behind their serverless technology lambda. But in its current state its very hard to setup, let alone run anything securely. This technology is called firecracker microvm's

It started off as a go library, for creating process pools to just do a simple firecracker spawn, turned into a full fledged host side daemon.

deploying a microvm through a docker image is now as simple as running

`herd deploy --image postgres:latest -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres`

with boot times ~500ms

PS - I recently lost access to `Greptile` free code review for OSS projects, my repo stars (38) < 50. Could you guys please bump them up slightly :))
