Yeah - Firecracker looks like it's internal virtualization technology, but not directly part of any product. Should hopefully show up as improved launch times, better performance, and lower cost for Lambda and Fargate.
Plausible they'll offer it as a direct "instance type" in the future, but there was no indication that was happening any time soon.
For Pulumi - this just makes the same Lambda and Fargate compute that is really easy to work with from Pulumi even better!

Agree - I think it could be really interesting as a foundation for building a new serverless compute platform.
