  • OSv - The first operating system to be designed for the cloud, written from scratch, here in TLV
    DevconTLV January Conference, Thursday, January 30, 2014, 09:15

     
    In this talk I'll introduce OSv, a new, from-scratch operating system designed specifically for cloud deployments. We will showcase the operating system architecture and explain the performance and manageability improvements that can be expected.

    A comparative view of workload isolation technologies such as Linux, OSv, docker/containers and even zeroVm will highlight where and when should one use each.

    Operating system developers, as well as application developers who deploy to the cloud may enjoy the talk. No special expertise is required.
