that would be true if the unikernel was running alone on bare metal, but the more likely case is that you are deploying multiple unikernels on top of some hypervisor. in the case of Xen, you will have linux or *bsd in dom0 which will probab

hwvirt is what most people think of when you say "virtualization", so they try to compartmentalize things at that level. i don't see why Xen/KVM/whatever is fundamentally more secure than something like Illumos Zone

the AP spec is actually, a bit more abstract that you would expect. JSON and JSON-LD are required, but transport and actor resolution are not well specified. current-gen AP servers do have an implicit dependency on HTTP and DNS. i've s
