Keynote: Blurring the Lines: The Continuum Between Containers and VMs
summary
Argues that the container/VM choice becomes a selectable continuum by combining lightweight hypervisor work and container runtimes, showing a working stack called Clear Containers built on a trimmed QEMU variant pc-lite with kernel and userspace optimizations, DAX direct mapping to nonvolatile DIMMs and other changes that deliver sub‑second and even sub-50 ms boot times, about 50 MB runtime overhead per VM instance, and order‑of‑magnitude performance gains.
