In addition to contributions from FPV Ventures, Generationship, Precursor Ventures, and Rosecliff Ventures, the funding round was led by 645 Ventures and Eniac Ventures. Angel investors Joe Beda, Filippo Valsorda, Mandy Andress, Jeff Behl, and Nikitha Suryadevara from Kleiner Perkins also provided support.

This eliminates the risk of container escapes and fundamentally changes the way containers function.

 

Thanks to Edera's invention, businesses can now safely run containers on public, private, or on-premise clouds without requiring custom infrastructure or virtualization extensions. With a memory-safe Rust control layer enhancing security, their architecture guarantees that containers, which are handled similarly to virtual machine guests, do not exchange kernel states.
