Hello,
This email is to request Xen community's feedback on our work on implementing Xen’s driver domains using the unikernel virtual machine model (as opposed to using general-purpose OSs like Linux) to reduce the attack surface, among other benefits. The effort, called Kite, has implemented driver domains for network and storage PV drivers using NetBSD’s rumprun unikernel.
Details of the work are available in a paper that will soon appear at the 2022 ACM European Conference on Computer Systems (EuroSys’22), available here: https://www.ssrg.ece.vt. edu/papers/eurosys22.pdf
Kite’s source code is available at: https://github.com/ssrg- vt/kite/.
We would love to hear the community’s thoughts and feedback.
Thank you, and looking forward,
Mehrab
