We definitely took inspiration and implemented in the nanos unikernel cause we think it's a great idea: https://nanovms.com/dev/tutorials/applying-sandbox-security-...

HN discussionThat article seems overly critical about young developers that don't know it any better because they grew up on containers. I guess I am one of those so I got to ask, is the proposed solution of unikernels something we had before but lost in favor of containers, or is it something completely new anyways? It does look like it might be the latter so why blame developers for using containers due to lack of choice? If u…

HN discussionNanoVMs | Kernel Engineer | SF, CA | https://nanovms.com Looking for experienced kernel engineers with great debugging skills. We prefer on-site/full-time roles but are open to contract/remote positions for qualified individuals. At this time we wouldn't be looking at sponsoring - maybe in the future. We have a ton of kernel level work (as you could imagine). Please email ian@ for more info.

And I am not sure what "thing" I am using. Is there some disambiguation? I know is OPS is the orchestration CLI, but I am confused at the difference between Nanos and NanoVMs. What should I call the secti…

HN discussionForgot to mention this but https://nanos.org is also related with https://nanovms.com (to deploy unikernels) and ops.city (which handles the package distributions), so it's like a whole ecosystem. I wonder why Alpine linux won over this though?

HN discussion"real-time" when it comes to kernels doesn't necessarily imply "fast" and Nanos only targets virtualized environments as well. RT is more for situations like "If I hit the brakes I want the car to stop". Nanos' sweet spot is more for cloud workloads. Having said that with enough interest I think we could look at project such as https://projectacrn.org/ but it's not really a focus at the moment and would probably bec…
