What is the advantage of this over running a unikernels in Xen?
Edit: looks like there's a direct alternative called Rumprun: https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun. I hadn't heard of it.
Anyway, right now this whole unikernel thing is still pretty new so it's good to have multiple projects.
While this may be the most typical use for OSv, my understanding from their wiki[0] is that OSv can handle Ruby or Node, or Linux apps (most of the Linux ABI is supported).
