Docker Online Meetup #31: Unikernels
Details
REGISTER: https://docker.webex.com/docker/onstage/g.php?MTID=ecf6e01569c30e5cf54e9b18bed729408
Unikernels are constructed by combining application code with only the operating system components necessary for that code to run. The result is a highly specialized, single-purpose application which can be deployed directly to the cloud or onto IoT-like devices. Unikernels reduce software complexity by only including code that is required, resulting in portable applications with much smaller footprints and fast boot times.
By combining the familiar tooling and portability of Docker with the efficiency and specialization of next-generation unikernel technology, organizations have a flexible platform to build, ship and run distributed applications without being restricted to a particular infrastructure. Because workloads that reach the data center today are on a spectrum from physical machine to container to hypervisor, only the Docker platform can further widen the scope and provide more flexibility for orchestrating hybrid applications.

About Docker
Docker (https://www.docker.com/) is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications. Consisting of Docker Engine, a portable, lightweight runtime and packaging tool, and Docker Hub, a cloud service for sharing applications and automating workflows, Docker enables apps to be quickly assembled from components and eliminates the friction between development, QA, and production environments.
