Ephemeral VMs in 1 Microsecond

Viewed 18
The concept of ephemeral virtual machines (VMs) that can be created and terminated in as little as 1 microsecond is gaining traction. This remarkable speed is a game-changer for cloud computing, where quick resource allocation is essential. The use cases for such VMs include high-frequency trading, where milliseconds matter, and scalable microservices architectures that require rapid deployment and teardown of applications. User comments reflect curiosity about practical applications and bring up concerns regarding the relevance of unikernels—lightweight VMs that package applications with their operating environment—suggesting a comparative assessment of both technologies may be needed.
