About

Edera is a cloud infrastructure security company that provides hardware-enforced isolation for containerized workloads. Instead of relying on Linux namespaces and a shared kernel, Edera runs each container inside its own micro-VM on a Type-1 hypervisor with a memory-safe Rust control plane. The result is VM-grade separation between workloads while remaining fully compatible with existing Kubernetes environments. The company was founded in 2024 in Seattle by Emily Long, Alex Zenla and Ariadne Conill.

Delivers true per-workload kernel isolation with near-native performance (roughly 5% overhead) on existing hardware, removing the usual tradeoff between container speed and VM-level security, and without syscall restrictions or specialized hardware.

Product

Edera for Containers

Container security / workload isolation platform

A container runtime layer that gives every containerized workload its own hardware-backed sandbox by running it as a guest on a Type-1 hypervisor, eliminating shared kernel state between containers on a node.

  • Type-1 hypervisor with a memory-safe Rust control plane
  • Per-workload micro-VM isolation instead of a shared Linux kernel
  • Roughly 5% performance overhead versus standard containers

Built for

Platform engineering and security teams running multi-tenant Kubernetes and AI infrastructure at enterprises, including regulated industries (finance, healthcare, government) and federal systems
