Unikernels and Hyper Elastic Clouds
summary
Claims that unikernels cut attack surface and boot fast with concrete demos: a MirageOS static site becomes a deployable unikernel via Mirage skeleton and Travis CI, pushed to Xen and ARM; a Bitcoin-pinata exercise uses an OCaml TLS reimplementation. Artifacts shrink to 8.2 MB vs ~200 MB and are versioned; on-demand startup is handled by Jitsu that masks latency and can boot in ~300 ms; tooling shown is MirageOS + Jitsu + Travis + Xen.
