The Future of Containers - Part 3 - Unikernels

In this episode, we cover the following topics:

• We continue our discussion of microVMs with a look at Kata Containers.
• Kata Containers formed by the merger of two projects: Intel Clear Containers and Hyper runV.
• How does Kata Containers integrate with existing container tooling?
• How mature are Kata Containers - are they ready for production?
• We then take a look at unikernels, which take a dramatically different approach to solving the problem of providing high security with blazing performance.
• The benefits of unikernels along with a comparison on how they differ from containers.
• We discuss some of the most popular unikernel implementations, including OSv and MirageOS.
• Does the future point to a deathmatch between containers and unikernels, or will there be a need for both approaches to cloud-native apps?
