Claude Code Running Claude Code in 4-Second Disposable VMs

SMRTR summary

Developer built a Go-based system that runs Claude Code in isolated Firecracker VMs instead of Docker containers for security. The system boots fresh Linux VMs in 4 seconds, uses vsock for host-guest communication without SSH, and provides CLI, REST API, and MCP server interfaces. Each VM gets hardware-enforced isolation via KVM hypervisor, eliminating container escape risks when running AI agents with full permissions.
