Then maybe a unikernel such as Nanos would work better for you. https://nanos.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
This is a very large rationale for what we are building with https://nanos.org . - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
Going to toot my own horn here but if you're looking for something like a container with a security focus that is precisely what https://nanos.org was built for. No users, no login/ssh, no ability to run other programs other than the one that is already running. It kills off entire CWE's such as CWE-77/CWE-78 and neutralizes a large amount of nasty payloads forcing attackers to put in the work. It has all the same... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
Erlang on Xen was most definitely an inspiration behind what we're working on with https://nanos.org . - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
I am a bit confused, there are three sites: * https://nanos.org/ * https://nanovms.com/ * https://ops.city/ And I am not sure what "thing" I am using. Is there some disambiguation? I know is OPS is the orchestration CLI, but I am confused at the difference between Nanos and NanoVMs. What should I call the section of my README that deals with this tech? Currently gone with Nanos/OPS but I am confused. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
Forgot to mention this but https://nanos.org is also related with https://nanovms.com (to deploy unikernels) and ops.city (which handles the package distributions), so it's like a whole ecosystem. I wonder why Alpine linux won over this though? - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
I work with https://nanos.org && https://ops.city - we can run thousands of these on commodity hardware. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Unik was just a build tool that utilized other projects like Rump, Mirage, IncludeOS, etc. It's now dead since Solo pivoted a very long time ago to service mesh/api gateways. The GoRump port they use was from us and then we realized we needed to code our own from the ground up for many reasons so we wrote https://nanos.org (runs as a go unikernel in GCP). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Https://nanos.org/ Seems to be a living concept still, just not in the mainstream. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Definitely agree with the top part, however, I should note that, ops, the tool's, whole existence is to create disk images and upload them to any cloud, any hypervisor. In particular, both https://ops.city && https://nanos.org are Go unikernels running on GCP and their deploys take just a few seconds to push out. AWS can be even faster cause we skip the s3 upload part. We also have lots of people using Azure which... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I'm with that organization that works on https://nanos.org and https://ops.city . If you aren't a software engineer but still would like to use unikernels you're in luck - we also have a package repository at https://repo.ops.city/ (running as a go unikernel on GCP) that will allow you to run and deploy pre-made applications. If you don't see something that you'd like to us there's also a way of importing docker... Source: over 2 years ago
I think Unikernels like NanoVMs (https://nanos.org/) will become more important. They are more efficient and more secure than than full operating systems. Right now, I think there are no good monitoring solutions available (or at least I am not aware of any). You can't just ssh to your server, so if something goes wrong, it can be hard to debug. And they are certainly not integrated into bigger monitoring... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
For instance the filesystems have no permissions because there are no users because it is only running one process. Linux is ~30M LOC and half of that is drivers. When you deploy to a cloud you only really need a handful of drivers - something to talk to the disk, the network, a clock, etc. That's very different than deploying to bare metal servers where you have hundreds of different nics, usb, disk drives, etc....

This isn't true. Both https://nanos.org and https://ops.city are Go unikernels running on Google Cloud. (I'm with NanoVMs that is the maintainer of these projects.). - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
