  • OSv, the best workload platform among containers and virtualization
    DevconTLV Summit Conference, Thursday, June 5, 2014, 15:15
    OSv is a new open source cloud operating system. OSv was written from
    scratch to me the requirements of cloud workloads, a.k.a scalability and manageability.
     
    Most of the traditional OS layers were reaped off in order to deliver maximum performance along with full automation using RESTful api. 
     
    The results provides the best of all worlds:
    Lightness and performing as physical containers while preserving hypervisor rich
    features such as security, live migration, SLA, etc.
