Amazon Firecracker Rex Module

[dunkeltech]

Hello Rex Folks,

if someone is interested in running there services and workloads in microVMs instead of containers (for a better separation and more security) i created a Rex Firecracker module.

Firecracker is a VMM (virtual machine monitor) like qemu, but specially designed to run microVMs. This allows a high density of running vms on one host. The performance overhead of these VMs is marginal compared to containers. You can also use specialized kernels (or operating systems) for example: http://osv.io/

You'll find the module on github here: https://github.com/dunkeltech/rex-module-firecracker
