Flintlock – Create and manage the lifecycle of MicroVMs, backed by containerd

"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.

These things are a great idea but it turns out they're always a massive pain to actually use. Until container-as-VM is as easy to get as installing docker, not really viable for mainstream use imho.
