unikernels maybe. e.g. there is HermiTux
Ask HN: How are you using unikernels?
8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 May 2021

The definition of what a unikernel is needs to be narrowed down, a lot of these projects in the space (not all the ones listed above) have material differences that are not clear:
- some run only one language
- some require recompilation
- some essentially swap out libraries, others do something closer to dropping your already mostly static binary in a minimal disk image
- some build pid1 processes, others VMs images
Anyway, here are some additional entries in the space:
- https://ssrg-vt.github.io/hermitux/
- https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit (more embedded/minimal VM than unikernel)
- https://nabla-containers.github.io/ (runs on Solo5)
I am going through using Linuxkit to build AMIs for cloud providers now. I wouldn’t necessarily class linuxkit as a universal project because it doesn’t have the hallmark blurring of user and kernel space or kernel-as-a-library but you can customize the kernel so it’s an adjacent idea, and I think it’s the one most likely to be in actual use at non-hyperscalers.
