Compile your own cloud with Mirage OS v2.0
summary
Mirage OS v2.0 builds single-purpose unikernel binaries by linking OCaml application code with only the drivers and stacks needed, producing ~100KB DNS images that boot or respond in subsecond times (demo wake ≈300ms) and run directly on Xen or ARM targets. Workflow uses OPAM and git to version-control source and binaries, supports swapping Unix or OCaml network stacks, and adds Irmin: Git-like DB for versioned data and OCaml-TLS — a pure-OCaml TLS implementation aimed at removing C memory bugs.
