alt Hacker NewsWe have enough control over the execution environment in a Sprite (unlike a Fly Machine, where the implied Linux contract we have with our users gets in the way) that we can trivially hide explicit proxies.
We can also attach Macaroons to Fly Machines and Sprites for configurable ambient privileges, something I've wanted us to expose as a feature for a very long time.
Awesome, i look forward to that. I think that could be a major differentiator for sprites. I wish i could work on that problem at fly.io scale.
What is the contract with sprites? Is it just built-with-linux but not promising Linux? Or is it more like a machine but y'all control the container image?
