7 Open Source Container and Microservices Projects to Watch
Unikernels, which were recently acquired by Docker, are a building block for microservice-based environments. They let DevOps teams take the minimum bits of software libraries needed to make a particular app run, then integrate them into a portable, platform-agnostic package. The result is apps that are even more flexible and efficient than containers. Unikernels are not yet ready for production, but they're on the way.
