Interesting; so, boxfuse is one of these (..."micro" kernels? What's the name, of when you run in a hypervisor without a real OS, so no user isolation, no process isolation, etc.) OS/image-creation tools...
I didn't realize they were production ready yet, but sounds pretty spiffy.
What's interesting is that I think Boxfuse is spinning what most people would call a weakness ("if stuff breaks, I can't SSH into the shell and fix it (because, not only is that a 'bad idea', there just isn't a Linux OS there to SSH into anyway)" and calling it a strength.
Nice spin. :-)
If I tried boxfuse, I'd probably look at embedding the Apache Java-based SSHD server, not for app setup, but debugging ... assuming its terminal session would provide useful information in the Boxfuse "there is no OS" environment.
(The boxfuse site uses the term "Secure Micro OS, Few MBs", so if I'm misinterpreting what their platform does, someone please correct me.)
