Exploring Unikernels
Investigating single-address-space, single-application operating systems as an alternative to general-purpose Linux for narrow workloads.
PROBLEM
Where does a unikernel's reduced attack surface and boot time actually pay off compared to a general-purpose OS?
ENGINEERING
- Comparing unikernel toolchains and their constraints
- Identifying workloads suited to a single-purpose OS image
RESULT
Exploratory — this is an active area of interest without published results yet.
