"Backed by containerd" confused me until I found this snippet in the documentation (spoilers: it is used for pulling images amongst other things, but not as a container runtime): https://flintlock.liquidmetal.dev/docs/getting-started/conta...

First time I hear about the "Cloud Hypervisor" https://www.cloudhypervisor.org/. It's really hard to keep up with all new stuff in the field.

Cloud Hypervisor has been around for years. It's a very similar Rust codebase to Firecracker (and shares libraries). People use it because it supports PCI passthrough.
