Unik & Cloud Foundry Integration: Focus on IoT
summary
Unik is an open‑source build-and-orchestration tool that compiles application + language runtime + only-needed drivers into tiny unikernel VMs, integrates as a Cloud Foundry backend via a buildpack and Docker‑API translator, and lets CF schedule and restart VMs while a small container sidecar monitors health. Demonstrations show ~0.2s boot, ~56MB web VM, a Minecraft and Node deploy, Raspberry Pi/ARM support with gdb debugging, and a cited 10× performance win for a Cassandra-like DB. Key pieces: CF buildpack integration, provider support (AWS, OpenStack, KVM, VMware, ARM).
