Chamelon: MVP persistent block storage for MirageOS

• cmrdporcupine 5y ago
  Is MirageOS used in 'production' systems anywhere at any significant scale? Not asking to be antagonistic, asking because I think unikernels are really nifty, and genuinely curious if they've worked out for anybody.

    It was being used in production on TI-84+ [1], haha [1] https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/139/13949.html https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/139/13949.htm...

    The libraries are embedded in quite a few places; for example it's used in every single Docker for Desktop instance: - https://mirage.io/blog/2022-04-06.vpnkit https://mirage.io/blog/2022-04-06.vpnkit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqFDEDl5Zes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqFDEDl5Zes - https://github.com/moby/vpnkit https://github.com/moby/vpnkit - https://speakerdeck.com/avsm/the-functional-innards-of-docker-for-mac-and-windows https://speakerdeck.com/avsm/the-functional-innards-of-docke... And then there are deployments in QubesOS, Xen, Nitrokey, etc. Bear in mind that MirageOS is a library OS, which doesn't just mean "compile to a standalone kernel instance". It just means that it can be linked into all sorts of embedded environments, some of which are the solo5 or Xen backends you see in talks.
