    Howdy! We are hard at work at improving the DX, and as a result we've been working on a brand new CLI. We haven't made any announcements yet, but it's already open-source for early…

    Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Good point on the Kraftfile syntax and as you've seen, there is a reference document. We can make sure to place a link to this in all guides. The term …

    Containers are perfect for build environments and for creating the root filesystem. The issue is that the kernel these days are super bulky and are intended for multi-user, multi-p…

    Hi, author here, You can, and we've written about the differences also, here [0]. The summary is that there is still a performance hit for boot time (100s of milliseconds to second…

    In fact gVisor is the opposite, it injects more guard instructions between the application and the kernel across the syscall layer in order to make stronger security guarantees. Th…

    Hi, [disclaimer, I am a project maintainer]. The key difference between unikernels (and library OSes) vs. other kernels is that each kernel is different with a unikernel. Your appl…

    Hi, 1. Yes. We're essentially a baremetal solution. Either we run it on your behalf (this is kraft.cloud), or we deliver an ISO or AMI and this can be installed on-prem/cloud-prem.…
