ABSTRACT: Unikernels are getting known as single address space machine images, created using library operating systems. In practice they are used to wrap a single service inside a virtual machine without the significant overhead of a general purpose operating system such as Linux or Windows. IncludeOS is a recent addition to the unikernel family developed at HiOA and written from scratch in C++ . While the most well known unikernel projects target Xen paravirtualization IncludeOS is developed for x86 hardware virtualization. In this talk we give an overview of the IncludeOS architecture compared with other unikernel projects, with an emphasis on identifying potential security benefits.

SPEAKER BIO: MSc. in mathematical logic from IFI at the University of Oslo.
