To me, a project that young, with a unique developer at the helm, cannot look "that nice", so I can't resist seeing it as too nice to be true, and being actually a scam or whatever.
I know that, thanks to AI, a solo dev can not only orchestrate an actual projects in a few days, but can ALSO take time to make a good looking README.
When, in the past, the focus was first on the code, then on the README.
I just want a system that's as easy as "docker run ubuntu" but launches as a microvm instead, without me having to source a kernel or remember hugenormously long qemu incantation lines.
You might be interested in my project then: https://github.com/virtkit-dev/virtkit (also inspired by smolvm and similar projects). Default kernel included, but can also boot a custom kernel if necessary.
I built it at work to replace years of accumulated tooling around complex multi-stage docker/docker-compose builds. The same workloads now run more securely, often faster, and with much less disk space. Also acts as a Gitlab executor to run CI jobs in microvms :-)
Obviously built with AI (this would otherwise have been a multi-year effort... and therefore not exist at all!) but I think the design is not bad.
Still beta and under-documented, but already quite usable.
Edit: it's not just a runtime, it also replaces docker build with its own native build engine — the build steps themselves run inside microVMs (not "docker inside a VM"). I haven't seen any other tool actually do that, that's quite fun ;-)
podman run --rm -it --runtime=krun ubuntu shCurrently we have to supply a kernel to run the OCI as a microVM with a warm pool.
