Docker without Docker
Our users deliver software to us as Docker containers, but we don’t use Docker to run them. We transmogrify container images into Firecracker micro-VMs. Here's how.
Hasnain says:
“So, that's about half the idea behind Fly.io. We run server hardware in racks around the world; those servers are tied together with an orchestration system that plugs into our API. Our CLI, flyctl, uses Docker's tooling to push OCI images to us. Our orchestration system sends messages to servers to convert those OCI images to VMs. It's all pretty neato, but I hope also kind of easy to get your head wrapped around.”
