Logging for Unikernels

Obviously a lot more to this than the quote above. I'm seeing some moves towards this tech, and as always, I worry about the security of it!Unikernels are the next step in virtualized computing. There is a lot of hubbub right now in the tech-o-sphere about unikernels. In fact, in many circles unikernels are thought to be the Next Big Thing. There is a lot of recent news to justify this perspective. Docker, a key player in Linux Containers, has acquired Unikernel Systems. MirageOS, the library that you use to create unikernels has solid backing from Xen and the Linux Foundation as an incubator project.
Unikernels are not going anyway soon. Having a clear understanding of unikernel technology is important to anybody working in large scale, distributed computing. Thus, I share. In this article I am going to explain the basic concepts behind unikernels and I am going to describe how they sit in the landscape of virtualized computing. Also I am going to talk about an approach to logging from within unikernels that I learned from an industry expert, Adam Wick, Ph.D..
So let’s begin.
