summary
urunc is a CRI-compatible container runtime that spawns unikernel VMs from OCI images created by bima, treating unikernels as processes and driving hypervisors like Solo5 and Unikraft; images pack the unikernel binary plus a urunc.json for metadata and are pulled via containerd, run with devmapper snapshotter and a TAP-based CNI hookup. Demonstrations show nginx and a Knative function serving HTTP from unikernels, claiming much smaller memory footprint and faster cold start than microVM stacks. urunc bima CRI-compatible
