Smol machines – 서브초 콜드스타트, 이식 가능한 가상머신

Smol machines bridges the gap between containers and traditional VMs by delivering sub-second cold starts with hardware-level isolation, eliminating the Docker daemon while supporting standard OCI images. This microVM-based approach combines Firecracker's performance with container-like usability, making it ideal for security-critical workloads and scenarios where containerization's shared kernel model poses risks. The tool's growing adoption signals a broader industry shift toward post-container lightweight virtualization.
