"The high level goal of Unikraft is to be able to build unikernels targeted
at specific applications without requiring the time-consuming, expert work
that building such a unikernel requires today. The main idea behind
Unikraft is depicted in Figure 1 and consists of two basic components: (1)
library pools containing libraries that the user of Unikraft can select
from to create the unikernel and (2) a build tool and menu allowing users
to pick and choose from those libraries to build images tailored to
specific applications."

Unikraft, as other unikernels, requires a hypervisor, like Xen.

Thus, it is not an alternative for Virtualization. It is a secure technology that running on Xen.Right?

As a unikernel, unikraft has:
-Single address space: no border between the user and the kernel space, meaning no syscalls. Single process (thus only multi-threading), no fork
-Low memory footprint compared to a traditional VM: only the necessary software composed the binary

The unikernel image is seen as a traditional VM from the point of view of the hypervisor.ervisor

Thank you.Thus Unikernel is not a replacement for Virtualization.
