Thank you for the hard work! I've been a long time follower and am excited to give it a try and post about it -- thank you for the additional links. I haven't dug into the wealth of knowledge that is FOSDEM 2021 yet but excited to see your update, giving that a watch now.
Unikraft is really one of the only ways I see unikernels actually taking off now that rumprun is somewhat slowed/unmaintained, and the implications I think are really great -- I would love to be able to completely switch out implementations of schedulers, IO, network, and even mid level libraries and be able to observe differences in unikraft application performance and the work you're doing will make that so much easier.
If containers are a local optimum, I think unikernels + lightweight VMs might be another one. Good things seem to consistently come out of UK computer research.
