principle of "zero overhead" ▸ Pragmatic approach to POSIX expanding support as required ▸ Multiple targets (QEMU, ESXi, etc) ▸ Apache Public License 2.0 #include <os> int main() { printf("Hello world! No Linux here!"); }
forks, 35+ contributors ▸ Commercial company Based out of Oslo, Norway ▸ Broad support via libs Multicore virtual machines (SMP) Multiple network adapters ▸ LiveUpdate is a major feature In-place update of unikernels with zero downtime STATE OF THE UNIKERNEL INCLUDEOS — CURRENT WORK
doing Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) ▸ Expanding language support NodeJS and Go are strongest contenders STATE OF THE UNIKERNEL INCLUDEOS — ROADMAP

fast it boots, - what higher layers do. ▸ Monitor provides: - generic h/w abstractions - e.g. Mini-OS (Xen) or QEMU (KVM) STATE OF THE UNIKERNEL LINUX / KVM QEMU libs/runtime monitor base App code BASE AND MONITOR
▸ ‘General purpose’, so not very minimal! ▸ … what do we really need? STATE OF THE UNIKERNEL BASE AND MONITOR LINUX / KVM QEMU libs/runtime monitor base App code
From folks at IBM Research ▸ Extends unikernel philosophy to the base and monitor ▸ Minimal interfaces (~5% code) ▸ Fast boot times (~10ms) STATE OF THE UNIKERNEL INTRODUCING SOLO5/UKVM LINUX / KVM unikernel + solo5 lib ukvm
is now multi-OS Ported to run on FreeBSD and OpenBSD ▸ Project is now multi-arch Solo5 base ported to run on ARM64 ukvm monitor ported to run Linux/KVM on ARM64 ▸ IncludeOS support Mostly complete STATE OF THE UNIKERNEL SOLO5/UKVM — MILESTONES
just ‘kvm’ ▸ More comms about Solo5/ukvm Less well known than the unikernel projects Work on Solo5 benefits all supported projects ▸ Refresh the Solo5 APIs ▸ Support for Muen SK as a monitor A formally verified microkernel STATE OF THE UNIKERNEL SOLO5/UKVM — UPCOMING WORK
Each growing in their own way ▸ Early signs of convergence Excellent time to get involved ▸ Revenue! ▸ Docker images to get started Tool chains still different though ▸ Find out more at unikernel.org
