Unikernel Systems [Cambridge, 2014]: Unikernel.org is part of unikernel systems that provides a platform to
build, deploy and manage cloud services. In the DockerCon EU, on 17th Nov 2015, they announced the
integration of unikernels with existing container infrastructure. Unikernels provide many benefits compared to a
traditional OS, including : Improved security properties, Smaller footprints, Fine grained optimization and fast
boot times. Containers and unikernels sit on a continuum. On the one hand, we have the traditional method of
placing a full OS stack in a VM with a single application on top. A natural next step is to use containers which run
on top of a single OS, giving better resource usage and allowing each application to be more self-
contained.Unikernels are just another step on this path and can be thought of as extreme, self-contained
applications.
Turbo [Seattle, 2015]: Turbo is a developer of software virtualization and container technology. Available as

containerization system is built on top of the Turbo application virtualization engine.Its Spoon VM plays the
