Runtimes
Kindling selects the best runtime available on the current host at process startup.Runtime Matrix
| Host environment | Runtime | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Linux with KVM | Cloud Hypervisor | Primary microVM path |
| macOS development | Apple Virtualization | Linux microVMs for local development and builder flows |
| Linux without KVM | crun | OCI container fallback |
Shared Contract
The important abstraction is that the runtime must return a host-reachable address that matches the way the host actually exposes traffic. That keeps:- deploy logic simple
- runtime URLs meaningful
- the control plane from caring too much about host-specific boot details
Practical Consequence
The runtime changes, but the product shape does not:- build an OCI image
- start a workload
- establish readiness
- route traffic to healthy backends
