  2. A Dockerfile is just a file with a bunch of commands to execute and get a working "computer". https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild is fairly aged translation of the Dockerfile to a VM rootfs.

  7. …We're talking thousands on a single host. I've done some fair share of evaluating firecracker for https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild and the need to provision is red herring. firebuild can run a VM directly from a Dockerfile and…

  9. I am working on something like this: https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild . From a Dockerfile, it's not as simple without creating an image first. The command @tptacek means is most likely docker export for a running container and…
