This is awesome. Imagine the potential if it was just complete enough to run Kubernetes’ kubelet on a cloud instance. Lots of security minded folks would love it.

That's IMHO how you get something like this off the ground. Make it useful for a simple use-case while offering something of value - in this case the security of Rust. It can then become a preferred solution to some problem and that will bring users and developers looking to incrementally expand it.

I wonder, if you run every container in it's own MicroVM a-la Firecracker like Fargate does (or Kerla's demo host), does the security of the kernel still matter as much?
