its a really innovative idea! very interested in the subsecond coldstart claim, how does it achieve that?

@binsquare basically brute-force trimmed down unnecessary linux kernel modules, tried to get the vm started with just bare minimum. There are more rooms for improvement for sure. We will keep trying!

With this approach I managed to get to sub-10ms start (to pid1), if you can accept a few constraints there's plenty of room!

Though my version was only tested on Linux hosts

would be interested to see how you do it, how can I connect with you - emotionally?

nice! for most local workloads, it is actually sufficient. so, do you ship a complete disk snapshot of the machines?

	▲	fqiao 5 hours ago \| parent [-]
		Yes. files on the disks are kept across stop and restart. We also have a pack command to compress the machine as a single file so that it can shipped and rehydrated elsewhere
