You're thinking of gvisor. But no, the "gen2" runtime is a microvm ala firecracker and performs a lot better as a result.

Ah, that's great.

And it looks like Cloud Run can do something Lambda can't: https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/create-jobs . "Unlike a Cloud Run service, which listens for and serves requests, a Cloud Run job only runs its tasks and exits when finished. A job does not listen for or serve requests."
