Unikernels (ie library operating systems) on microkernels make a lot of sense. Microkernels do not provide the tcp stacks and so on that applications need after all. Xen is a microkernel architecture, but yes the more modern ones are attractive.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoUnikernels on microkernels are fine. Far as TCP/IP, most production and some FOSS microkernels have those with some that heal themselves after crashes. Matter of fact, all high-assurance TCP/IP stacks run in a partitioned config on microkernels. And Xen is a hypervisor derived from a microkernel. It's not representative of most microkernels at all.
