Late last year, NEC Laboratories Europe introduced a new project called Unikraft. It had designed a totally new development model to reduce the effort of converting existed applications to Unikernels. Developers can recompile applications for Unikernels instead of rewriting them. So, after deploying Unikernels to virtual machine, this project can be regarded as the second revolution of Unikernels. Since this project was announced, Wei has been actively working with the community to get involved in this project. In this presentation Wei intend to: * Share some knowledge of Unikraft, including: 1) The concept and architecture of Unikraft 2) The categories of Library pools 3) The Unikraft build tool working principle 4) How to contribute to this project 5) The Arm support status of this project * Demonstrate a Unikraft application on an Arm server
