====== Unikernelized Real Time Linux & IoT ====== Saturday, October 21, 2017 • 15:20 - 15:50 ---- ===== Abstract ===== Unikernel is a novel software technology that links an application with OS in the form of a library and packages them into a specialized image that facilitates direct deployment on a hypervisor. There are already open source projects supporting this technology: OSv, Rumprun etc. Unikernels are facing three major challenges: - Compatibility with existing applications - Lack of production support (e.g. monitoring, debugging, logging) - Lack of compelling use case. This presentation will discuss how Linux can be converted to a Unikernel with the primary target of resource constrained IoT devices. While existing Unikernels match the resource constraints of IoT devices, they lack wide hardware support, proper power management and Real-Time properties. The talk gives an introduction to Unikernel Realtime Linux and aims to foster a discussion about the possible solutions to make Unikernels successful in the IoT space. ===== Audience ===== Anyone interested in Unikernel and Linux for IoT ===== Biography ===== ====Tiejun Chen, VMware==== Tiejun is a staff engineer from ATC, Advanced Technology Center, VMware China, working on Unikernel & IoT & Serverless research projects. He contributed to the kernel and the RT project during his earlier employments at Wind River and Intel. ---- Go to [[realtime:events:rt-summit2017:schedule|RT-Summit 2017 Schedule]]
