I have the same question. WeaveWorks has another project called footloose which allows docker containers to be used like VMs. Also dead.

The only other project/company (aside from Kata) promoting firecracker was Talos. But not sure if they maintain their integration still.

Talos no longer supports creating a cluster automatically in a firecracker VM (which you can still do in docker, via `talosctl cluster create`) but you can certainly run Talos Linux in firecracker VMs and create a cluster that way.

Interesting. So Talos is both a Linux and a k8s distribution?

I am less interested in running k8s itself in Firecracker (or kata, or similar), but the pods started by it. I think there are advantages to that.
