Optimizing Boot Times and Enhancing Binary Compatibility for Unikernels
Unikernels are lightweight, single-purpose virtual machines designed for the cloud. They provide enhanced security, minimal resource utilisation, fast boot times, and the ability to optimize performance for the target application. Despite their numerous advantages, unikernels face significant …

Cross-ISA Execution Migration of Unikernels: Build Toolchain, Memory Alignment, and VM State Transfer Techniques
… This thesis proposes a way to provide the unikernels with migration capabilities so that it becomes possible to offload workloads from the server to the embedded boards. This thesis describes a toolchain development process for building migratable unikernel for the native applications. This …

Achieving Secure and Performant Databases with Minimal Resource Overhead
… the stored procedure code. Furthermore, by using unikernels instead of Linux VMs, the machines running the VMs can minimize the CPU/memory overhead per VM while also improving security for the DMBS. Overall, these changes allow cloud-hosted machines to more efficiently utilize resources.

Improving Operating System Security, Reliability, and Performance through Intra-Unikernel Isolation, Asynchronous Out-of-kernel IPC, and Advanced System Servers
… paths and thereby improves performance. Unikernels are a specialized form of library OSs that consist of a single application compiled with the necessary kernel components, and execute in a single address space, usually atop a hypervisor for strong isolation. Unikernels have recently …

Design and Implementation of a Network Server in LibrettOS
… LibrettOS, an operating system based on rumprun unikernels and the Xen Hypervisor developed by Virginia Tech. The proposed network server is a service domain providing an L2 frame forwarding service for application domains and based on rumprun such that the existing device drivers of NetBSD can …

Exploring a resource allocation security protocol for secure service migration in commercial cloud environments
… container technology, such as Docker, LXD, and Unikernels has made the migration of services possible. As Cloud services, such as Vehicular Cloud, are now being increasingly offered in highly mobile environments, Y-Comm, a new framework for building future mobile systems, has developed proactive …

On Improving the Security of Virtualized Systems through Unikernelized Driver Domain and Virtual Machine Monitor Compartmentalization and Specialization
… a set of CVEs, and retains all the benefits of unikernels including a reduced number of return-oriented programming (ROP) gadgets and advanced gadget-related metrics. General-purpose VMMs include a large number of components that may not be used in many VM configurations, resulting in a large …
