(OP) Happy to answer any questions! Some things we're still exploring:

- Mounting persistent storage for file i/o

- Replacing noVNC with a faster alternative

Would love feedback, especially if you’ve worked on fast-cold-start systems or unikernel-based infra.

How does fast-cold-start help here? What use cases did it enable that were previously not possible with a warm pool of Docker containers?

The big motivation we had for trying to do this on a unikernel is actually the session pause/resume. The fast cold restart is a nice addition (or put the other way, a super slow restart would prohibit session pause/resume from being useful)
