We're onboarding people over time so that we can we can iterate on the beta as we go. The questionnaire is only asking for basic details (Name, Company, which version are you interested in). You do need a Docker Hub ID first.

I think that does a disservice to the much greater number of people who are not at Jane Street but contributing useful code and libraries. You also seem to imply that Jane Street is the one 'bringing multicore to OCaml' but tha

Unikernel Systems was supporting the community site (i.e. paying for stuff) and that will continue with Docker. It's important that the open-source work continues to grow and that all the projects benefit from each other. unikernel.o

There are many other benefits to unikernels especially depending on which implementation you choose to go with. For example, MirageOS and Rumprun are good examples of clean-slate vs current systems. I'd recommend reading some of the

From your description, it seems reasonable to call this 'a correction' in the market. Those who've raised enough (& manage their burn) might be able to justify their valuations to the public markets in due course. (love t

Yes, of course. I should also have linked to the Unikernel+Docker demo [1], which is taking legacy software and using Rump Kernels and the Docker toolchain to deploy unikernels (to show how all these things can create a multiplier effect in

That doesn't do it justice and there's more to it than that e.g. the readability (and 'debugablity') of the new code. I note that the post does have a very useful summary at the end, which is a 90 sec read (there'

It's beyond experiments now and there are clear uses for such things. For example, a recent post describes using MirageOS to build a firewall VM [1]. There are also network security/intrusion-detection systems [2]. There are a num

Congrats! This is quite interesting and I look forward to seeing the site. Have you come across CyberChaff [1]? It seems like you may have similar goals. CyberChaff makes use of HaLVM [2] so this approach (using unikernels) seems like it
