EuroSys '21: Proceedings of the Sixteenth European Conference on Computer SystemsPages 376–394https://doi.org/10.1145/3447786.3456248Unikernels are famous for providing excellent performance in terms of boot times, throughput and memory consumption, to name a few metrics. However, they are infamous for making it hard and extremely time consuming to extract such performance, and for ...

Unleashing the power of unikernels with unikraft
SYSTOR '19: Proceedings of the 12th ACM International Conference on Systems and StoragePage 195https://doi.org/10.1145/3319647.3325856Recent research has shown that unikernels, lightweight virtual machines tailored to specific applications, have great potential in terms of performance, tiny boot times, small memory consumption, and a reduced trusted compute base. Creating and ...

SOSP '17: Proceedings of the 26th Symposium on Operating Systems PrinciplesPages 218–233https://doi.org/10.1145/3132747.3132763Containers are in great demand because they are lightweight when compared to virtual machines. On the downside, containers offer weaker isolation than VMs, to the point where people run containers in virtual machines to achieve proper isolation. In this ...
