They outline the following steps: + +1. Pull the matching container from the registry. +2. Create a loop device to store the container's filesystem on. +3. Unpack the container (in this case, using Docker's Go libraries) into the mounted loop device. +4. Create a second block device and inject our init, kernel, configuration, and other goop into. +5. Track down any persistent volumes attached to the application, unlock them with LUKS, and collect their unlocked block devices. +6. Create a TAP device, configure it for our network, and attach BPF code to it. +7. Hand all this stuff off to Firecracker and tell it to boot . + +As I've been interested in playing with both containerd's API and firecracker, I thought it would be a good opportunity to try to implement this. |
