Ask HN: Kernel Containers (security like VMs, perf like LXC)
10 points by riyakhanna1983 21 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Frustrated by our own performance challenges with Kata Containers, we have developed a new hypervisor from scratch that can run each Docker container in isolation (i.e., no shared host kernel), and with native performance (i.e., no virtualization runtime overhead or cold starts).

We have been using it internally with K8s for a while now. What's would be the best way to commercialize this technology? We are thinking of licensing it and seeking design partners.




We tried building something similar internally. But we ended up ditching VMs for bare metal. Does your solution require nested virtualization?


The hypervisor needs hardware virtualization extensions. So if you are running in a public cloud, then yes you would need nested virtualization.
