However, for enterprises shaping forward-looking AI strategy, a critical part of the conversation that needs to be addressed is the issue of private AI vs. public AI.

Databricks’ 2023 State of Data + AI report highlights the importance of the modern data stack in leveraging AI.

A microVM is a lightweight virtual machine. Any function or container workload can run inside of one. It is ideal for running multiple high-performance and secure workloads concurrently on a single machine because it combines the security and isolation of traditional VMs with the resource efficiency of containers. In this blog post, we dive into the world of microVMs, specifically Firecracker microVMs.
