I think the operating system for cloud services is need to be able to run heterogeneous system. Which Mesos & CoreOS are headed towards this idea via containerization.
Why build an OS that only run a C++ for cloud services? Is there any use case/problems that the author trying to solve?
- ZenoArrow 11y agoWhat I want to know is how this is better/different compared to Rumprun or OSv. They appear to be its closest competitors. https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun/ https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun/ http://osv.io/ http://osv.io/
- tinco 11y agoIt is generally assumed virtual machines have better isolation (security-wise) than operating system level isolation like the containerization Mesos and CoreOS are making use of.
- Leon 11y agoCoreOS and SELinux together is pretty secure if set up properly; even if you broke out of a container you wouldn't be able to do anything, even start a process. But still, yeah, in a unikernel there is no 'breaking out' at all.
