Firecracker snapshot demo using go-sdk

This repository contains the code for the demo presented during Hands-on Introduction to Firecracker | Rawkode Live.

Building

go build launcher.go

Prerequisites

The application assumes that the working directory contains:

1. firecracker: the firecracker binary.
2. rootfs.ext4: a root filesystem to boot the microvm from.
3. vmlinux.bin: the kernel that the microvm will use.

Running

1. Launch a microvm:

./launcher --socket 1.sock

2. Create a snapshot:

./launcher --socket 1.sock --toSnapshot state1

3. Load a snapshot:

./launcher --socket 2.sock --fromSnapshot state1
