The Future of Containers - Part 3 - Unikernels

Published: Jan. 29, 2020, 9 p.m.

What is the future of containers? In this three-part series, we are exploring the promising technologies aiming to make our cloud-native apps more secure without giving up performance. Previously, we learned all about microVMs, taking a deep dive on the most talked about microVM - AWS Firecracker. This week on Mobycast, we finish looking at microVMs with a discussion of Kata Containers. Then we explore the world of unikernels, which promise the same benefits as microVMs but with a dramatically different approach. Oh... and somewhere along the way, Chris accidentally invents a new technology - "conternels".
