The Next Generation Cloud: Unleashing the Power of the Unikernel
Error message
You are not authorized to post comments.Russell Pavlicek, Xen Project Evangelist
Docker & containers have sparked much excitement over the concept of small, easily deployable VMs. But unikernels create even smaller VMs with much higher security than container-based solutions. The next generation cloud can leverage unikernels to do more in a smaller footprint while actually increasing overall security, while the cloud model will expand to include the concept of transient microservices.
