I'm assuming the low latency cold starts are from a paused state, considering chrome itself takes a few seconds to boot? Or have you found some clever way to snapshot a running chrome and fork that?
Either way thanks for sharing.
It snapshots / pauses the entire unikernel instance after launching chromium, and then resumes the instance in <20ms with exactly the same state.
Is that safe? I was under the impression that snapshot/resume of ex. anything running crypto libraries was a minefield of duplicate keys and reused nonces.
