Learn about Firecracker microVMs and how they differ from traditional VMs and containers.
Slicer turns the very raw Firecracker technology into a production-ready product that's as easy to use as containers or AWS EC2.
Included in the package: supported Kernels and base images, a REST API, powerful guest agent, Go SDK, and built-in firewall support.
Slicer's code has been used to run millions of GitHub Actions CI jobs for CNCF and various other LinuxFoundation projects.
Since 2022 our team at OpenFaaS Ltd has used Slicer every day to set up labs for product development, load-testing, and for delivering fast customer support.
Our own long-term production workloads from Kubernetes clusters, to our crucial code review bot, to APIs all run on bare-metal powered by Slicer.
