#62"Two dimensional navigation for a slide deck would be really helpful, discoverable, and useful." - no one ever
For those who are confused: Hit the down arrow to go thru the slides, when you get to the end of one, hit the right arrow to go to the next section, then rinse and repeat. Just hitting right will show the you the headers for each section. Right jumps from section to section Hitting down goes slide to slide.
just use space for next slide, why all down, right arrows..??

#63Can the same be done for Node.js? What about PHP?
Re: Look Ma, no OS
#64The next logical step is to elide the virtualized network and disk interfaces, and then we're back to shared hosting! See you again in twenty years.
Arguably we only got this way because, although UNIX neatly abstracted the file system with user access control, it predated networking which was slapped on the side with no way of allocating network resources between users. If SysV had had filesystem-like means of allocating the right to listen on a particular port to particular user accounts, the world would have been very different, and we'd have been spared entir…
While true, it would only help if C would be out of the picture as well.
Plan 9 and later Inferno (with Alef and Limbo) would have been better, but they went nowhere.

#65Sounds like unikernels are giving the traditional OS a lobotomy and leaving only the brain stem to handle basic functions.

Here is another one for your list: https://boxfuse.com
We launched Boxfuse last month with support for running JVM apps as unikernels on VirtualBox and AWS.
Here is a blog article from last week about deploying Dropwizard unikernels to EC2: https://boxfuse.com/blog/dropwizard-aws.html

#67Unikernels are cool to play with. Erlang is cool too. But... - [name] is a kernel thread not a user space process. - its libssl, not "libopenss" - installing rpc, some obscure 55k listening port, and calling it bloated.. heh so cheap. Once past all this FUD - what does a unikernel (basically the same as running linux and your app as /sbin/init except it's in Erlang and not C here)? - its obscure. you get security mai…
namespaced linux boots in Can someone show me this?
The OP means the creation time of a Linux "container" is less than 10ms, ie the time for the system calls you need to create the namespaces and cgroups. While you can boot a unikernel from nothing in that time.

It is not a unikernel though, just a minimal Linux.

No one has tried Node.js yet as far as I know (possibly under OSv not sure). PHP, yes, is running as a unikernel, using a rump kernel.

> with zero separation between them
the hypervisor separates unikernels from each-other.
