Added

  • Rate limiting functionality allows specifying an initial one time
    burst size.
  • Firecracker can now boot from an arbitrary boot partition by specifying
    its unique id in the drive's API call.
  • Block device rescan is triggered via a PUT /actions with the drive ID in the
    action body's payload field and the action_type field set to
    BlockDeviceRescan.

Changed

  • Removed noapic from the default guest kernel command line.
  • The action_id parameter is no longer required for synchronous PUT requests
    to /actions.
  • PUT requests are no longer allowed on /drives resources after the guest
    has booted.

Fixed

  • Fixed guest instance kernel loader to accelerate vCPUs launch and consequently
    guest kernel boot.
  • Fixed network emulation to improve IO performance.
