Unikernel technology versus Containerization

You may have heard of unicorns, but have you heard of unikernels? IncludeOS is a compact tailored operating system, developed in Norway and tested in one of Basefarm’s Data centers for over a year.

The small unikernel packages of code are directly injected into lightweight cloud applications making it possible for them run on a virtual computer and removing the need for a separate OS.

Per Buer, CEO for IncludeOS, and Sverre Støcken, lead architect at Basefarm explains in Datacenter Dynamics, why using unikernels instead of containerization require fewer hosting servers, less processing power, storage and memory space, ultimately leading to higher efficiency.
