Oxide and Friends: January 23rd, 2023

Revisiting Unikernels

We've been hosting a live show weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour, and recording them all; here is the recording from January 23rd, 2023.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers on January 23rd included Steve Klabnik, Dan Cross, and others.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

Bryan's 2016 blog post Unikernels are unfit for production

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
