HI version is available. Content is displayed in original English for accuracy.

Hi HN,

I spent the last few months reading the RISC‑V specification to build the lightest possible sandboxes. The idea behind a vpod is to quickly spin up a Linux sandbox from snapshots (Alpine by default) without any setup or subsystem required.

The trade-off for portability and security is raw CPU speed. So we don't expect it to match native workloads with Python or pip, for example.

More info is in the README https://github.com/capsulerun/vpod

Happy to answer any questions!

Do you think that once GCC gets a working Wasm backend[1], that it might be possible to build Linux for Wasm directly and skip the RISC-V VM?
