Hyper-V, Microsoft’s virtualization platform, plays a crucial role in cloud computing infrastructures, providing a scalable and secure virtualization foundation. By leveraging Hyper-V, cloud service providers can optimize hardware utilization by running multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical server.

Firecracker is the virtual machine monitor (VMM) that powers AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate, and has been used in production at AWS since 2018. The traditional view is that there is a choice between virtualization with strong security and high overhead, and container technologies with weaker security and minimal overhead.
