Erlang on Xen was most definitely an inspiration behind what we're working on with the https://nanos.org unikernel.

You are correct that ops does not provide any sort of orchestration framework today, but it's also not necessarily needed in a lot of cases because the end artifacts are vms not containers. There is a terraform provider that we ended u

The way this works is that you take a package (like nginx or node or what-have-you) and then you use any of the configuration vars like 'File' or 'Dirs' or 'MapDirs' and the like to create the filesystem with w

Yes, Nanos is completely language agnostic. We've had rust customers (not just users) for a few years now.

This is true. There is quite a lot of applications that you can just run out of the box but then I'll give you two cases where that won't be the case and do require patches: 1) In many interpreted languages it is common to have co

At the end of the day you'd still be running linux. So what are some key differences between Linux and Nanos (excluding the millions of lines of code, userland arguments)? There is still quite a lot of code in your average linux kernel

There are a ton of different download options https://ops.city/downloads (versus just compiling from source yourself if you're super paranoid), including signed/notarized/stapled builds from companies such as

I can speak to this. Containers, and by extension k8s, break a well known security boundary that has existed for a very long time - whether you are using a real (hardware) server or a virtual machine on the cloud if you pop that instance&#x

So I had to look this up but Alpine has been in under development since 2005. Nanos has only been in development since 2018.

> I don't really have a filesystem in the way we know it. This is a rather common misconception. Nanos (and many other unikernel projects) have filesystems. Most of the applications we target are webapp servers, databases, etc. They

"real-time" when it comes to kernels doesn't necessarily imply "fast" and Nanos only targets virtualized environments as well. RT is more for situations like "If I hit the brakes I want the car to stop".

We need to remove that. We did have a channel on freenode a while back but got rid of it. Outside of gh discussions there is also https://forums.nanovms.com/ . We made a decision a while ago to follow Zig's lead here an

We do encourage prod deployments to export logging that they care about over syslog ( https://docs.ops.city/ops/klibs#syslog ) or something else ( https://docs.ops.city/ops/klibs#cloudwatch-logging )

One of the key insights for unikernels in general is that everything is virtualized now to begin with. The entire public cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure, etc. is virtualization with an api on top of it. So unikernels take advantage of this fact to g

Unik was just a build tool that utilized other projects like Rump, Mirage, IncludeOS, etc. It's now dead since Solo pivoted a very long time ago to service mesh/api gateways. The GoRump port they use was from us and then we realiz
