Bug#1036079: RFP: firecracker -- micro KVM-based virtual machine monitor



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: mooff@awful.cooking

* Package name    : firecracker
* URL             : https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/
* License         : Apache 2.0
  Programming Lang: Rust, Python
  Description     : Firecracker is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that uses the Linux Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) to create and run microVMs.

> Firecracker has a minimalist design. It excludes unnecessary devices and guest-facing functionality to reduce the memory footprint and attack surface area of each microVM. This improves security, decreases the startup time, and increases hardware utilization. Firecracker has also been integrated in container runtimes, for example Kata Containers and Weaveworks Ignite.

(From firecracker/README.md)

This would make a great addition to Debian.
