VMcontainer
VMcontainer is a virtualization paradigm that places container workloads inside lightweight virtual machines to achieve hardware-enforced isolation without abandoning the container development model. It aims to combine the agility of containers with the security guarantees of virtual machines.
Architecture typically involves a lightweight hypervisor that instantiates microVMs. Each microVM runs a minimal guest OS
Interactions and performance: The VM boundary provides isolation from noisy neighbors and kernel-level attacks, while within
Relationship to other tech: VMcontainers are related to projects like Kata Containers and Firecracker-based solutions, which
Use and limitations: Suitable for multi-tenant clouds, regulated workloads, and edge deployments where security is paramount.
