Talk about unikernels is starting to gain momentum. Still, these are such early days for this technology that implements the bare minimum of the traditional operating system functions. At ContainerCon, we discussed the unikernel topic and its context with containers in a session moderated by Alex Williams, founder of The New Stack. Speaking on the panel were Jérôme Petazzoni of Docker, Adam Wick, research lead at Galois, an R&D firm; James Bulpin, head of technology for XenServer at Citrix; Anil Madhavapeddy, professor at the University of Cambridge, and Martin Lucina of Rump Kernels.
