@fen Yeah, in theory you don't actually *need* a crapload of RAM to run everything in separate isolated VMs like does... but that'd require for the various things to be programs (+ some qubes vchan interaction protocol stuff) instead of just running a full instance of Linux + Xorg + your program for each.

And as it turns out, implementing that is more work & bother than just adding some more ram to one's machine.

It's not like 10~15yo workstations don't have enough.

If I wanted to run a single program in an that discards its state on terminating (ideally with the program image on disk being read-only), what would you suggest?

systems seem like an option, possibly.

The idea would be to run an untrusted program inside the VM operate on arbitrary third-party input, convert it into a sanitized/safer format and spit it back out over to be handled in a program where failure on the simpler format is safe.

@rq A full system on what should often be no more than a application?

Last week, during @SUSE Hackweek 22, I built a application running modules.
This is based on RustyHermit, a based unikernel.

That was a fun!

Im achten SystemCall geht es um . Wir haben uns das MirageOS, quasi den Großvater der Unikernel angeschaut, und dann ein Proof of Concept gefunden, wo Forscher*innen den Linux Kern zu einem Unikernel umgebaut haben.

Am Ende diskutieren wir den clean-slate Ansatz gegen die Erweiterung etablierter Systeme.

We have actually been hosting the project website muen.sk as a MirageOS/Solo5 unikernel running on Muen for almost four years now:

This happened shortly after attending the brilliant 3rd MirageOS retreat in Marrakech. Meeting such wonderful folks like @hannesm @yomimono mato @reynir and all the other people like Anil etc, got me excited about Unikernels and MirageOS.

Related, so I don't lose the link: "Making Popcorn: Adding a disk to a Rumprun " polyfractal.com/post/adding-a-

Also interesting, these guys are creating an OS in Rust and writing a book about it at the same time – basically 'Rust does MINIX': "intermezzOS is a teaching operating system, specifically focused on introducing systems programming concepts to experienced developers from other areas of programming." intermezzos.github.io/

Was anderes, auf was mich der aufmerksam gemacht hat: . Das ist ein sehr interessantes Konzept und scheint eine richtige Microservice-Alternative zu dem Wahnsinn zu sein.

Da scheint es schon ein paar zu geben, nicht nur das auf dem 36c3 vorgestellte , sondern auch , , , etc. Welchen will man denn zum kennenlernen nehmen?

HermiTux, a binary-compatible . ssrg-vt.github.io/hermitux/

"HermiTux is a unikernel: a minimal operating system with low memory/disk footprint and sub-second boot time, executing an application within a single address space on top of an hypervisor. Moreover, HermiTux is binary-compatible with Linux: it can run native Linux executables."

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Microkernels and Component based OS devroom at . It was a pleasure to host such an international group of presenters, and it was good to see that the and communities can get along so well :-)

For those that missed it nearly all of the recordings should be available today:
