Firecracker is a minimal virtual machine monitor written in Rust. As a virtual machine monitor, Firecracker is a user-space process, one per virtual machine, that provides the devices and the machine model. Firecracker works beside KVM, which runs in the kernel and handles CPU and memory virtualization. Cloud Hypervisor is a minimal monitor of the same kind and is also written in Rust.
