> I wanted specifically to find a minimal set of restrictions to run untrusted code.

I don't think we should consider containers to be a security boundary. Even full VMs can be escaped, and have been, many times.

The fact that this is possible in the first place makes me think we need a much better approach.

As far as I know, Firecracker, gVisor, and Kata Containers are the solution here. They use VM primitives (x64_64 and ARM64 extensions) and have lighter codebases

https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/

https://gvisor.dev/

https://katacontainers.io/

But I don't have any direct experience with any of them. I'd be curious what people who have built on top of them think

I have written https://fzakaria.com/2020/05/31/containers-from-first-princi... a while ago in similar vein.
