Unikraft is an open-source library operating system that enables the construction of ultra-lightweight VMs quickly, easily and without time-consuming developer effort. These VM images are tailored to the application itself and have high-performance, low resource usage and a small attack surface. The talk compares Unikraft with existing runtimes for the cloud and demonstrates how it can be used with Kubernetes today.
- Existing runtimes for the cloud rely on traditional kernel stacks and hypervisors, which negatively impact security and performance.
