containerd-firecracker-agent

The containerd Firecracker agent is a component which runs inside containerd-managed Firecracker microVMs. The containerd Firecracker agent communicates with the containerd-firecracker-runtime over a vsock and proxies commands to runc

Installation

The containerd Firecracker agent must be embedded into the filesystem image used to launch the microVM and configured to start on boot.

Usage

Once started and set up with a properly-configured vsock, the containerd Firecracker agent is used automatically by the containerd-shim-aws-firecracker process running outside the microVM.
