Ask HN: The Trend of Lightweight Virtualization?

We (NanoVMs) are looking at unikernels - that is reworking the guest. Also, while they reside on top of a hypervisor there is plenty of work that can be done to advance the state of the art here. NFV, 5G, and edge deployments are going to drive a lot of attention here.

I wouldn't discount the work of firecracker here because that is more on the line of reworking the monitor versus the guest which really hasn't had a ton of attention in the past. Other work here includes things like Solo5.
