The Problem While experimenting with development and deployment of multiple Mirage OS unikernels across multiple hosts, I quickly discovered that manual orchestration is tedious and doesn’t scale. ukvm The recommended unikernel monitor for kvm. Unique to each unikernel with no awareness of other …

dear @bramford , I suffered from this as well (running atm 11 different virtual machines and shell-scripting deployment didn’t scale anymore). From your example unikernel platform, albatross (please read Albatross - provisioning, deploying, managing, and monitoring virtual machines first) is WIP and…

Ah sweet, yeah I did actually see albatross but wrongly dismissed it as an experimental hack project (I didn’t see/read the associated blog post). Having read the blog, I agree, it seems like [the beginnings of] what I’m looking for - I’ll get it running and see how it goes. On the topic of Libvirt…

MirageOS (when using the xen target (-t xen)) emits a libvirt.xml file which should be usable by tools supporting libvirt (if there’s interest and maybe a PR ;), we could generate a similar file for ukvm and virtio targets). When I started developing albatross, libvirt looked too complex for my use…

The main reason for me is reducing the trusted computing base, every line counts :wink: Makes sense on the minimal trusted computing base. I still see a strong case for Libvirt due to its pervasiveness. Few organisations will be able to run entirely on unikernels [in the forseeable future] and t…
