Yes please! Still waiting for unikernels to actually become a thing. Looks so promising, but Unikraft has yet to launch their cloud offering and NanoVM is 7$ per unikernel, which, compared to an always on shared Hetzner vCPU for ~4$ (knowing those two are not exactly the same) is kind of pricey... Would expect them to be cheaper or at least cost the same

Sorry - just now seeing this.

We don't have any $7/unikernel offerings out there at all. We do have a desktop app that costs $7.

As for your other comment - one of the really awesome things about unikernels is that you don't have to roll your own infrastructure.

The way these are made is that all the infrastructure management is pushed onto the cloud of choice.

I'd highly encourage you to if you haven't to download https://ops.city and try to deploy something to GCP or AWS or wherever - it's free and would answer a lot of questions/assumptions you might have.

Oh, I had the impression NanOS was free.

I think you're right, but I'm mostly interested in the cloud offerings. It's super hard to convince anyone to roll your own unikernel infrastructure
