The Art of Preparing OSv Packages

In this post we describe the use of the Capstan tool being extended within MIKELANGELO project. Capstan is a member of the Lightweight Execution Environment Toolbox (LEET) responsible for the management of composable application packages and OSv unikernel lifecycle. This post explains how these packages are prepared so that they are 100% compatible with OSv…
