Stateless, OS-less, AppServer-less and effortless cloud deployment

Abstract:

This talk covers Capstan, a fast, simple open-source tool for building virtual machine images with the OSv guest operating system.

OSv is a library OS, designed from scratch to fir cloud workloads. Its two main value propositions are performance and ease of use. Capstan is designed for bundling an app with OSv, resulting in a 2 second build, 12 MB over all image size and 0.5s boot time.

Both tools are integrated for devs, devops and run on laptops or public cloud w/ out of the box integration to cloudInit, logging, monitoring, etc.
