Hi, yes, we'll offer a "developer" tier in that rough price range.

Hi, Felipe from Unikraft here. Yes, it applies to DB instances too (all instances are the same on KraftCloud with respect to this). Regarding multi-process, at present Unikraft has partial multi-process support: some multi-process apps work

Yes, our kraft CLI tool ( https://github.com/unikraft/kraftkit/ ) definitely has a clash with KRaft .

Yes, we're a German company, it's a play on words :)

I wonder whether we could get Kraft to sponsor us :) . Unikraft used to be called Unicraft but was changed to a "k" for name clash reasons. Agree that names are hard.

Hi, [Disclaimer, I'm one of the maintainers] Another unikernel yes, sorry about that! :) . Unikraft started back in 2017 initially as a research project, and has been a Linux Foundation OSS project since 2018. While Unikraft OSS is use

> The speed that's not there is setting up infrastructure. If I make a change in the AWS console, or if I add a new pod to Kubernetes, or whatever, I want that to happen in seconds. I'm not asking for milliseconds! Milliseconds

No, CloudCaptain is based on Linux, and tries to provide a minimal, though Linux-based, image. Unikernels do not use Linux at all: you can always try to minimize Linux but fundamentally it is a monolithic OS and fully specializing with it w

No, though you could use Firecracker to launch a Mirage (or any other) unikernel. Basically from the bottom up the stack is: 1. Hypervisor (e.g., KVM, Xen, Hyper-V), runs directly on the hardware 2. Virtual Machine Monitor (e.g., QEMU, Fire

There's also LF/OSS www.unikraft.com, language-agnostic/Linux API compatible, actively maintained.

At least for cloud deployments you'll (for almost all cases) already have a hypervisor underneath to provide strong isolation. With that in place, ideally you'd run your application (ultimately the only thing you care about) as cl

The second wave is coming :) . At www.unikraft.org we're hard at work providing a Linux-API compatible unikernel (run unmodified apps/langs) and combining it with tooling like docker and k8s.

For a language-agnostic unikernel project you can also check out www.unikraft.org (OSS/Linux Foundation, actively maintained).

by fhuici 3y ago
At least for cloud deployments you don't need a full blown OS when all you want to do is run apps like NGINX or Redis. If you use a unikernel instead, then you severely (orders of magnitude) reduce cold boot times, memory consumption,

We just gave this a go (pun intended) on Unikraft / kraft.cloud , Caddy runs fine on it!

At Unikraft (OSS unikernel project) we do a bit of both: if wanted, people can specify via a Dockerfile what they want/need in their filesystem, and then we have a tool that compiles (if needed) and packs the files into a (OCI formatte

Hi, one of the maintainers of the Unikraft LF OSS project here (www.unikraf.org), clearly in agreement :) . We regularly run Go workloads, and even use Dockerfiles to build Go and other projects that we then turn into minimal unikernels. We

Actually this isn't a fundamental issue with unikernels, but rather an implementation one. For instance, check out debugging in Unikraft: https://unikraft.org/docs/internals/debugging .

It still exists: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Mini-OS . But beware that this is no more than a small reference OS, there's a massive gap between getting it to just boot and running real-world applications with
