Interesting!

We're working on a similar solution at UnixShells.com [1]. We built a VMM that forks, and boots, in < 20ms and is live, serving customers! We have a lot of great tools available, via MIT, on our github repo [2] as well!

Can your service scale ram? like the way docker desktop does. Manual is fine.

yep you can choose ram + disk + cpu size

? You say 'yes' but you seem to be answering a different question. Docker desktop only makes me choose a max ram - it dynamically scales RAM usage. I don't need fully automatic like that, but the ability to vertically scale RAM for an existing instance is really important, particularly given the cost of RAM these days.

Ah we cannot do this without a restart. Hot pluggable ram is something I'm interested in but is currently a backburner feature.
