This is really well written, thanks for sharing.
I didn't understand the point of using Unikraft though, if you can boot linux in much less than 150ms, with a far less exotic environment

Which architecture can boot it in 150ms ?!
Boot is a misleading term, but you can resume snapshotted VMs in single digit ms
(and without unikernels, though they certainly help)
Stripping away unused drivers (.config) and other "bloats" can get you surprisingly far.
But 150ms? That's boot time for dos or minix maybe (tiny kernels). 1s sure.
Microvm's
Security, it isn't only memory footprint.
