  • unikraft

    A next-generation cloud native kernel designed to unlock best-in-class performance, security primitives and efficiency savings.

  • You should also probably check out Unikraft (https://unikraft.org) , supports many languages/apps, x86/ARM64 and QEMU/Firecracker. Is also able to run an ELF built under Linux as a unikernel (see https://unikraft.org/guides/bincompat). Discord is at https://unikraft.org/discord .

  • nanos

    A kernel designed to run one and only one application in a virtualized environment

  • A couple unikernel projects that caught my eye in the past may be of interest to you. I have no experience with them, so I can't speak to their quality though.
