Unik: Unikernel Runtime for Kubernetes
summary
UniK is an open‑source Go tool that compiles apps into unikernel bootable images and deploys them via a Docker‑like CLI and REST API. It supports IncludeOS, MirageOS, Rump‑Run and OSv, targets OpenStack, AWS, VMware, VirtualBox and Google Cloud, and adds ARM support. A Kubernetes runtime lets kubelet launch unikernels in pods so instances auto‑replace on failure; demos show a 56 MB image (Minecraft/website) that boots in 0.2s.
