What would the advantage of this be compared to using something like a Firecracker backend for containerd?

Run locally on macs, much easier to install/use, and designed to be "portable" meaning you can package a VM to preserve statefulness and run it somewhere else.

worked in AWS and specifically with firecracker in the container space for 4 years - we had a very long onboarding doc to dev on firecracker for containers... So I made sure to focus on ease of use here.

firecracker does not run on macos and has no GPU support
