We Rebuilt the Linux MicroVM Stack on Apple Silicon
Firecracker needs KVM and therefore a Linux host, and the image tooling around it needs loop mounts and Linux userland. We rebuilt the stack on Apple's Virtualization.framework to boot the same OCI images as microVMs on macOS and on Linux.
Summary
A new implementation of the Firecracker microVM stack has been developed to run on Apple Silicon, utilizing Apple’s Virtualization.framework. This allows for the booting of the same OCI images on both macOS and Linux, enhancing compatibility and performance for developers using Apple hardware.
