That’s very cool! Could you share some details on how to set it up for oneself with AWS Firecracker the same way that this demo was set up?
Also, as owner of the instances are you able to see what commands people are running? First thing I did was to type hello, and it said hello world to me :)
Re: Kerla: Monolithic kernel in Rust, aiming for Linux ABI compatibility
#4A star has been born. A Linux alternative needs to be compatible with Linux binaries and also support modern architectures.
If you want Linux to survive, it needs to be re-written from scratch, optimised in Rust and compatible with the existing Linux binaries or drivers.
This project might have a chance.

A certain someone thought that their hobby OS Minix clone won't be 'big or professional like GNU'.
It's time for 'change'.

sigh...
Linux is going to survive. And no it does not need to be re-written from scratch in Rust. Someone lied to you at the church of rust.

You think Linux, which the vast majority of web servers run today, is going to die out if it's not rewritten from scratch in Rust?
How on earth have you come to that one?

#7For each piece of software, there just be a version in Rust, and that version must advertise it's rustiness

I'm not the project author, maybe you can ask via e-mail, see https://seiya.me/

Sometimes, just sometimes, I wished one could post soyjaks on HN.

Absolute codswallop. Linux will be here for many, many years to come yet.
