• IncludeOS C++ Coding Dojo - meetup in Graz, Austria

  On Thursday the 5th of October there will be a C++ meetup in Graz, Austria on the topic of IncludeOS.

• IncludeOS on Solo5 and ukvm

  IncludeOS now supports the worlds tinyest hypervisor, ukvm. The minimalist hypervisor ads new potential use cases to IncludeOS.

• IncludeOS and relevant talks at CppCon 2017

  The upcoming C++ conference CppCon will have several talks about IncludeOS and a few on touching on adjacent topics. Here are some highlights.

• Popek-Goldberg machines considered harmful

  Modern virtual machines are based on a '74 theorem made by Popek and Goldberg. It outlines how virtual machines should be equivalent to physical machines, something that makes transitioning to virtual machines easier. Today this equivalence is harmful as it ads a lot of complexity to our virtual machines. If we discard equivalence virtual machines can be made a lot simpler.

• IncludeOS on VMware/ESXi/vSphere

  IncludeOS has, since its inception, supported the paravirtualized drivers for virtio-net. Our deployment platforms where the ones that support virtio. KVM/Qemu, Virtualbox, Openstack and the Google Compute Engine. We’ve now expanded our support adding ESXi to our list of supported platforms. ESXi is the hypervisor powering all of VMware's enterprise products. Here is how this support came about.

• IncludeOS is now 64 bit

  For historical reasons IncludeOS started out as 32 bit. However, as the world is leaving behind 32 bit code as legacy, we’ve always known that 64 bit support would be inevitable.

• Running IncludeOS Unikernels with VMware

  The dev branch now works on various VMware platforms - including networking.

• Docker Images for IncludeOS

  We have for anyone who wants to try out building IncludeOS unikernels without having to install the development environment locally on their machines.

• IncludeOS on Google Compute Engine

  Starting with IncludeOS version 0.10, you can run IncludeOS services in the cloud using Google Compute Engine (GCE)

• IncludeOS 0.10 Released

  We are proud to announce the release of IncludeOS version 0.10. Highlights from this release include partial POSIX support, a user-friendly `boot` tool to easily build and run IncludeOS services, and a revamped cross-platform build system based on CMake.

• Routing paths in IncludeOS - from JavaScript to C++

  In this post I will present how this routing in Mana and IncludeOS works and how you can create your own routes by taking advantage of this library's possibilities.

• Middleware implementation in Mana

  Mana is a C++ web application framework built for IncludeOS. In this post I will explain the concept *middleware*; what it is used for, how we have implemented it and other parts related to it.

• Delegate initialization - the simpler way

  In the IncludeOS presentation at CppCon 2016 an example of a delegate initialization can be seen. With a lot of delegates this can quick get kinda messy. Since then we found a simpler way to initialize our delegates.

• Non-intrusive real time stack sampling in IncludeOS

  By inserting a stack gathering call into the Programmable Interval Timer, we can regularly gather stack samples without bias. The gathering will happen at the frequency of the PIT, while the PIT handler itself will only schedule timers that are expired. This gives us an easy and non-intrusive way of profiling IncludeOS Applications.

• Just enough CMake
