Tl;dr: We tried to misuse technology and we failed. If Firecracker was developed for a single binary executed fir a short period of time why do you try to use it for multiple executables running for a long time? Does it make any sense to even try?
AWS uses firecracker to execute long-running Fargate tasks; its hardly misuse
Where in the "sales" pitch on the fancy-CSS website as well as the README does it say only to use it for single-shot workloads?
I think the complaints are perfectly valid.
"Firecracker is an alternative to QEMU that is purpose-built for running serverless functions and containers safely and efficiently, and nothing more." [1]
Interesting. I guess we are reading a different website.
