Firecracker animations

Interactive diagrams for explaining Firecracker boot, isolation, runtime density, and snapshot behavior.

• Boot sequence

  Preview →

  Firecracker API call sequence from kernel config to userspace ready, with swimlanes and a live millisecond counter.

• Isolation stack

  Preview →

  Container runtimes on the isolation spectrum, from runc and gVisor to Kata with Firecracker and a full VM.

• Density comparison

  Preview →

  One pod per Kubernetes node compared with 24 microVMs per Firecracker host, with an interactive cost-at-scale slider.

• Runtime spectrum

  Preview →

  Startup time, memory overhead, attack surface, and syscall compatibility across six runtime options.

• Snapshot restore

  Preview →

  Cold boot versus snapshot restore, animated as a fork-and-restore sequence across parallel microVMs.
