Don't see any mention of firecracker, which is the first thing I think of in this space. Anyone have a TL;DR comparison?
Firecracker can run ordinary linux/GPOS vms and unikernels.
Unikernels can run inside of firecracker.
Unikernels are focused on single applications whereas general purpose operating systems are focused on multiple applications.
This is focused on running functions embedded inside a host program. So it is fairly different than other things out there and in a class of its own.
