- [containerd implementation using firecracker microVM manager](https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-containerd)
    - incorporating hypervisor capabilities as an additional security feature for workload isolation. Similar work has been done with rkt (now likely mothballed), and active projects including gVisor from google, and kata containers from openstack.
