Comment on ZeroVM: Smaller, Lighter, Faster

Comments

Based on "Why ZeroVM?" (http://zerovm.org/wiki/Why_ZeroVM), a large part of the motivation for ZeroVM is based on the premise that regular VMs require a full OS and are therefore unacceptably fat. However, there are multiple platforms for running unmodified applications directly on VMs without requiring a traditional OS, e.g. the work I've been involved with: https://github.com/anttikantee/rumpuser-xen/

Determinism, OTOH, sounds interesting at least on paper. Is there any experience from tests with real applications in real world scenarios?
