What Dicer is made of and how it behaves: the ideas the guides and the reference take for granted.
The daemon, its API, and the init and agent that run inside every guest.
What an instance is, the states it goes through, and how it ends.
How a container image becomes a disk a virtual machine boots, and when it is removed.
Why every instance boots a kernel of its own, and how to import one.
Networks, addresses, NAT, isolation, and publishing a guest’s ports.
The image’s disk, the instance’s own disk, volumes and other mounts.
Cloud Hypervisor and Firecracker: choosing one, and their versions.
How the guest runs its command: as a container would, or under systemd.
