notes on firecracker microvms
by gwynplaine
As a part of my stage at a lab, I needed to know how to operate firecracker microvms and have an idea of how they work.
So here I present an ordered list of resources not only to get started with firecracker but also tu understand a little about what it is happening at a lower level.
This list will change as I discover more resources.
