StardustOS: A Unikernel Operating System for Cloud Applications

Summary

StardustOS is a unikernel operating system designed specifically for cloud applications, running in a protected single-address space environment. It features a minimal code base that's easily maintainable and uses static linking to combine a minimal kernel with a single application along with required libraries and runtime components. The system delegates physical resource management to an underlying hypervisor, treating it as a trusted platform, resulting in lightweight, efficient cloud application execution.
