Are they actually VMs, or are they containers? Some kind of special container like gvisor? Firecracker microvms?

Hello, an exe.dev person here. They are VMs, on a crosvm-derived VMM. So I consider them "actually VMs", though we do not currently support custom kernels. You can do VM things in there, like create TUN devices, etc.
