The containerd Firecracker agent is a component which runs inside
containerd-managed Firecracker microVMs. The containerd Firecracker agent
communicates with the containerd-firecracker-runtime over a vsock and proxies
commands to runc
The containerd Firecracker agent must be embedded into the filesystem image used to launch the microVM and configured to start on boot.
Once started and set up with a properly-configured vsock, the containerd
Firecracker agent is used automatically by the containerd-shim-aws-firecracker
process running outside the microVM.
