IMPFirecracker microVMs as first-class Kubernetes resources

Retro spirit, modern control plane. Build VM workloads with CRDs for networking, snapshots, migration, and warm pools.

Kubernetes-Native VM API

Manage VM lifecycle through CRDs like ImpVM, ImpNetwork, ImpVMSnapshot, ImpVMMigration, and ImpWarmPool.

Pair Firecracker efficiency with operator-managed lifecycle, metrics, and health controls.

Cilium-first networking with practical fallback paths for non-Cilium CNIs.

Operator and node agent split keeps control logic and node operations cleanly scoped.

imp quickstart // shell

bash

helm upgrade --install imp ./charts/imp -n imp-system --create-namespace
kubectl get impvm -n default
kubectl describe impvm quick-vm -n default

Turn VM lifecycle into declarative Kubernetes workflows, not manual host choreography.

Use built-in metrics and clear status surfaces for lifecycle, latency, and health visibility.

Use the same CRDs from local Kind clusters to production, with migration and warm-pool workflows built in.
