You can now run same OCI images as containers or Firecracker microVMs
Pullrun is a new infrastructure tool that allows the same OCI image to run as a container, a Firecracker microVM, or an AI agent task without needing separate images or complex daemons. It aims to unify disparate execution engines into a single, lightweight binary.
Why it matters
It simplifies infrastructure management by collapsing the gap between containerized environments and virtual machines, which is critical for modern cloud-native and AI deployments.
One OCI image. Any execution target. CLI + runtime under 25 MB. Run the same OCI image as a container, Firecracker microVM, Apple Silicon VM, Kubernetes workload, or AI agent task. No daemon required. No overlayfs. No separate VM images.

Pullrun runs the same OCI image as a container or a VM. It stores layers in a content-addressed DAG (no overlayfs), syncs blocks peer-to-peer, and ships as a ~14 MB CLI + ~6 MB runtime daemon.
