Comment on Scaling to 1M concurrent sandboxes in seconds

You can scale firecracker vms like really fast. In our shop we have a simple go service that maintain the state in a sqlite database. The only requirement is bare-metal servers.

how complex is maintaining a firecracker cluster over bare metal in practice ?

We don't know what we don't know but it does not look like that complex. We have not hit any edge-cases yet. I am sure there are some.
