I played with Weave Ignite the other day which is a Docker-like CLI for Firecracker. Sure there were some rough edges but the overall experience was pretty good. If you are familiar with the Docker CLI you will be able to get some virtual machines up and running very quickly.
Two questions in case someone from Weave tunes into the discussion:
I got the impression that VMs needed an SSH server to be accessible. Is this correct and if so will it be possible to implement something similar to docker exec so that I won't need an SSH server on every VM?
> At the moment ignite and ignited need root privileges on the host to operate due to certain operations (e.g. mount). This will change in the future.
Is there a timetable and could you perhaps elaborate a bit as to why it currently requires root? (I don't know anything about virtual machine internals so this isn't a passive-aggressive question from my side. It's genuine curiosity.)
