On the left - a normal t3-med on AWS - on the right a normal t3-med with NanoVMs Inception - for the first time running unikernels *on* ec2 instances instead of *as* ec2 instances. Oh yeh, you can now run firecracker on these too.

For the first time you can run your unikernels on top of existing normal ec2 instances vs provisioned as ec2 instances - use firecracker, instant boot times, pause/resume, up to 4X perf vs non-accel workloads - Slap that turbo button!

So I guess we went ahead and started cutting a MCP integration for the swiss army knife of unikernels - ops - now your agents can spin up/down compute cross cloud in the most performant isolated manner.

After almost 10 years k8s finally turns on user namespaces by default.
*golf clap*
Qualys published multiple bypasses not even a month ago.
Know what's better than a user namespace? Not having users in your image to begin with! You can deploy your software without users with nanos unikernels.
