Hi. It looks great! Since it uses UML, it overcomes the current limitation of LKL Nabla that does not support multi process.
As I described in the next post, Solo5 support in frankenlibc relies on platform abstract layer s (platforms, franken, librumpuser). However, UML deeply depends on arch/x86 and it would be hard to apply LKL Nabla approach directly. I hope it will be much easier if LKL is unified to UML.

Thanks! Although being multi-process makes it not-unikernel like, and it's more like a regular (although limited) VM.

I hope it will be much easier if LKL is unified to UML.
Got it, thanks. Let's wait until that merge is complete then.
