so it is only bootc-enabled container https://centos.github.io/centos-bootc/

So only CentOS? Would it be possible to run that with firecracker? If that is the case, then wouldn't it be better to just run a Docker/container file in a firecracker vm. It will be more isolation, and easier scripting and networking?

Using bootc-image-builder (https://github.com/osbuild/bootc-image-builder) You can convert a bootc image into multiple different formats including vmdk, iso, raw, qcow2 ...

I’m not sure how exactly you turn a Dockerfile into a Firecracker VM, but I suppose this is an alternative method to that.

Surely you can even boot a bootc-enabled container image like this on a Firecracker MicroVM.

registry.redhat.io/rhel9/rhel-bootc registry.redhat.io/rhel9/rhel-bootc quay.io/centos-bootc/centos-bootc

Are currently available, but since this is an open source project, we look forward to other distros creating bootc images.

I meant registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bootc
