Firecracker vs. VMware Cloud Foundation on IBM Cloud

While deploying workloads in lightweight microVMs presents a couple of perks, Firecracker may not be the best software to handle this. Startup times are slow and scalability is quite limited because of the jailer and virtualization barriers. We have had security breaches on isolated EC2 instances while using Firecracker. It however has a silver lining by improving how serverless functions in container ecosystems are run with their VMMs.

Multiple capabilities that VMware Cloud Foundation on IBM Cloud provides are excellent and very much involved in secure data migration and management, easy to monitor server performance and the virtual capability is on top and the data analytics using the platform are provided in real-time and the reports are the most useful, especially on the critical situations within the business development.

• It makes it easy to secure virtual machines as they are segmented into microvms with a minimal attack surface area

• Dashboard understanding is easy.
• The ability to handle big data.
• Data extraction tools are very active.

• Excludes devices unnecessarily
• Has a slow startup time the basis being to improve security which is quite irrelevant.
• It has limited functionalities on monitoring VMs despite being an open source.

• Only setting the advanced functionalities.
• The basic knowledge can not full manipulate the platform.
• To create reports for big data is sometime very turf.

• Low memory overhead on each microVM
• We can run workloads from different customers on the same machine.

• Live virtual capability are excellent.
• Great tool for the huge volume of data management and migration.
• Data accessibility is faster and the analytical capability is amazing.
