While cloud computing is rapidly becoming a preferred platform for running services, a major concern is the increased energy consumption of cloud deployments worldwide. In reports by Green Peace from 2010 and 2014, the combined energy consumption of cloud computing surpassed countries such as Germany, Canada and Brazil, making it the 6th larges energy consumer in the world. For many such deployments, much of the computing power is allocated to running virtual machines, which in turn are running general purpose operating systems. Todays major operating systems were designed to run a large number of programs in parallel, supporting a huge spectrum of different hardware devices. As a consequence, modern operating systems require a lot of disk- and memory for features the service it runs might not need. In this way, the emergence of cloud computing as an ubiquitous platform for elastically scaling services has generated need and opportunity for new types of operating systems, such as unikernels. An Unikernel is a single-tasking library operating system made specifically for running a single application in the cloud.
