- Quequau 4y agoNo, not at all. Unikernels are entirely different. You can go read more: http://unikernel.org/ http://unikernel.org/ I think it's a fairly interesting concept but it's not like they're taking over the world or anything. FWIW, I don't DTrace was as successful as its creators might have wished either.
