Release Firecracker v0.24.0 · firecracker-microvm/firecracker

Added optional resume_vm field to /snapshot/load API call.
Added support for block rate limiter PATCH.
Added devtool test -c|--cpuset-cpus flag for cpus confinement when tests
run.
Added devtool test -m|--cpuset-mems flag for memory confinement when tests
run.
Added the virtio traditional memory ballooning device.
Added a mechanism to handle vCPU/VMM errors that result in process termination.
Added incremental guest memory snapshot support.
Added aarch64 snapshot support.

Change the information provided in DescribeInstance command to provide microVM
state information (Not started/Running/Paused) instead of whether it's started or not.
Removed the jailer --extra-args parameter. It was a noop, having been
replaced by the -- separator for extra arguments.
Changed the output of the --version command line parameter to include a list
of supported snapshot data format versions for the firecracker binary.
Increased the maximum number of virtio devices from 11 to 19.
Added a new check that prevents creating v0.23 snapshots when more than 11
devices are attached.
If the stdout buffer is full and non-blocking, the serial writes no longer block.
Any new bytes will be lost, until the buffer is freed. The device also logs these
errors and increments the uart.error_count metric for each lost byte.
