🥱 Oh joy, another revolutionary way to make your life miserable with "unikernels" – because regular applications weren't complex enough. Just scroll past the endless GitHub jargon and pretend you understand developer workflows like a pro. 🚀 Spoiler: you probably won't use this, but feel smarter for reading about it. 😏

I'm really glad to share my last work about μTCP, #unikernels, effects and #OCaml 5. I talk about TCP/IP, #GADTs, and some useful data-structures. https://blog.robur.coop/articles/utcp_and_effects.html

e traditional difficulty with seccomp is figuring out the set of system calls that should be allowed. E.g., #Docker runs containers under a default policy that allows them to perform more than 250 system calls. When we have a unikernel as our process though, we can lock the set of calls right down.

So that’s how #unikernels as processes work. In place of the ukvm monitor there’s a component the authors call a tender. The tender is responsible for setup and exit handling as the ukvm monitor is. However, once file descriptors etc. are setup, the tender dynamically loads the unikernel code into it’s own address space. Then it configures seccomp filters to only allow system calls corresponding to the unikernel exits for I/O, and makes a one-way transition to this new mode. Finally it calls the entry point of the loaded unikernel. cc @aag

Containers and Unikernels: Conceptually Similar, Fundamentally Different, and Inextricably Intertwined.

In the longing for an explanation and comparison between the two, this article demonstrates how conceptually these two models are in fact the same primitive and how Unikraft uses containers to make unikernels.
