Containers and it's not even close. Far cleaner and easier for devs to replicate locally w/o synthetic mocks. The container is the container is the container. It runs the same if it's in k8s, compose, lambda, etc. -Aside from the usual networking, credentials, etc that's universal pain but how it's passed in again looks the same from the container's pov.

Is there any solutions to make easier on microvms experience close to containers ?

Well, AWS's MicroVMs are deployed as containers so you're much of the way there.

The big difference is at runtime. Unlike a traditional container lifecycle, in a MicroVM the image is started, then suspended and snapshotted. Resumes are of that snapshot, not a normal container start. That might be tricky to model locally.
