Looks cool and I understand what it does. Can you explain the production use case for this solution? It's not clear to me how this would be used in real life.

Not OP and not at all related to the project, but I imagine in production you would just replace the container runtime of your Kubernetes/Nomad/Swarm/homemade orchestrator, and run Docker container as usual (but each one is a separate VM). The advantages would be that you have actual isolation between the containers, so it's great for higher security contexts (e.g. banks) or multi tenant setups.
That's about right. RunCVM should be compatible with orchestrators today that use the Docker command line or API. As an experimental project, Kubernetes compatibility is beyond our current scope but it would be an interesting exercise.
