Running unikernels on top of a microkernel OS makes a lot of sense.
- elcct 11y agoYou could also interconnect multiple unikernels via nanokernels running off picokernel cloud
- nickpsecurity 11y agoYou mean MirageOS-based unikernel instances running on a L4 nanokernel running as Single-System Image on a Distributed Shared Memory machine made up of interconnected motes running the Contiki pico-OS? Sounds tricky to integrate and extend despite most of that being built already. Might be better to avoid the pico stuff given all the overheads and lack of cache.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoIt's been proven in practice for reliability and security in embedded space. They just called them Ada/Java "runtimes in dedicated partitions on microkernels." :) I always say that when mainstream starts to converge on what top engineers have been doing, then it's a good bandwagon to jump on. ;)
