IncludeOS is a minimal, open source, unikernel operating system for cloud services and IoT, developed by Alf Walla and Andreas Åkesson.[1][2] IncludeOS allows users to run C++ applications in the cloud without any operating system.
IncludeOS runs on virtual machines like Linux KVM, and VMWare ESXi/Fusion.[3]
IncludeOS applications boot in about 300 ms. On Solo5/uKVM from IBM Research, boot times as low as 10 milliseconds are possible.[4]
