  Description     : secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing

Firecracker is an open source virtualization technology that enables the
creation and management of secure, multi-tenant containers and serverless
services by running lightweight virtual machines (microVMs) on top of KVM.

It provides a minimal device model, fast startup times, low memory overhead,
and jailer isolation for untrusted workloads.

This package includes:
  - firecracker: minimal KVM-based virtual machine monitor
  - jailer: chroot, namespace, and cgroup containment wrapper
  - seccompiler: multi-threaded seccomp BPF filter compiler
  - snapshot-editor: VM state and memory snapshot inspection/editing tool
  - rebase-snap: snapshot memory diff rebasing utility
  - cpu-template-helper: CPU template and fingerprint management utility
     .
The package will be maintained under Salsa at:

I need a sponsor for Debian Rust Team to package this project.

Hello,

2026-09-02 16:44 CEST, Yunseong Kim:

I am interested in having firecracker in Debian and am a member of
the Debian Rust team. I would advise to move the repository to
rust-team/firecracker after you perform the initial packaging work so
that the project is moved in the Rust team to allow for easier
package transitions.

Does that seems sensible to you to have this package live under the
umbrella of the Debian Rust team?

Thanks,

Agathe.
