- amaccuish 2y agoThey still have a userspace to bring up.
- djbusby 2y agoAnd don't need systemd for that.
- tuetuopay 2y agonowadays serverless environments are microvms. that is, a standard machine type that is explicitly virtual (so device drivers have no wait time for hw to init). however, they don't either need userspace to boot because the function/application/whatever is likely init itself or not far off. so they need to boot, but only the kernel needs to boot.
