- laurci 2y agoi don't think it didn't catch. while unikraft (the kernel) is not a new project, the unikraft cloud is very recent (at most one year old i think). we share the same vision for eliminating the idle time costs, but the approach is quite different: - their software is closed source (we have no idea what runs those unikernels; probaly kvm) - they can run linux too, but the focus is on running their other product: the unikraft kernel - other than the cold-start performance, they have the same issues all the other main cloud providers.
