Building a Cloud Infrastructure to Deploy Microservices as Microvm Guests
summary
Deploys microservices as tiny unikernel microVMs using Toro (app‑oriented unikernel), a microvm device model (Firecracker‑like microvm/qemu), virtio-fs for shared files and virtio-vsock for host‑guest comms, plus a three‑node CFVFS cluster on OVH and an xmlwrap launcher. Resulting ELF is ~235 KB, compile for CI ~500 ms, cold boot ~80 ms, memory ~60 MB per microVM (~35 per 1‑core host), and a running web server demonstrates functionality and measurable CPU/boot gains.
