Core Concepts
Unikernels show promise for edge FaaS environments, offering advantages in cold start efficiency and memory usage.
Stats
Docker containers are lightweight but lack security for untrusted code.
Unikernels reduce footprint and provide Linux compatibility.
Nanos and OSv unikernels show advantages in cold start efficiency.
Quotes
Unikernels exhibit desirable cold start performance, yet lag behind Linux microVMs in stability.
Unikernels are a promising candidate for further research on Linux-compatible FaaS isolation.
