  Research on DrawBridge Library OS, which is base building block for MSSQL on Linux (by thinkcz)

You might be interested in a technology Microsoft has developed called "Drawbridge" [0], which is essentially an implementation of a subset of the windows nt kernel and system libraries in a userspace program.

This software has already been used to deploy Microsoft SQL server on Linux -- essentially, when you install MSSQL for Linux, you're deploying a win32 unikernel. There's a repo on github which has explored tearing down this published example of drawbridge and playing with it. [1]

The Microsoft page claims that "Drawbridge runs many existing Windows applications without modifications ranging from desktop applications like Microsoft Office 2010 and Internet Explorer to server applications like IIS".

  kraft-ready repo for building Go applications with Unikraft

  

A compelling introduction and explanation of Unikraft took place at USENIX LISA '18:

I don't know if I'm a huge fan of the website that was posted here (the quick start doesn't actually show a python application, which is a bit odd), but Unikraft occupies an interesting spot in the unikernel landscape, it's very promising.

Here are all some interesting languages/programs you can use it with:

- https://github.com/unikraft/app-helloworld-go

- https://github.com/unikraft/app-micropython

- https://github.com/unikraft/app-nginx

- https://github.com/unikraft/app-ruby

- https://github.com/unikraft/app-lua

- https://github.com/unikraft/app-redis

- https://github.com/unikraft/app-python3

If you're interested in Unikernels, some more interesting/close-to-production-ready entries in the space worth watching:
