Make VMs Run like Containers with a Hypervisor-Agnostic Docker Engine

With the rise of Docker, the world is shifting its focus from "Machine" toward "App". As such, the cloud of tomorrow will be very different than today.

While the future is exciting, what holds us back is the lack of isolation in container. Without the necessary security, it is impossible to build a public multi-tenant CaaS platform, as everyone has to share the single host's kernel (no matter physical or virtual).

Hyper is a Hypervisor-agnostic Docker Runtime. Its goal is to make VMs run like containers, by combining the best from both: the speed of containers, with the isolation of real VMs.

Hyper believes the future of Container-as-a-Service is just around the corner. Thibault Bronchain from Hyper presented this technology during the recent 2015 Innovation in the Cloud Conference via HyperHQ.

The Xen Project is dedicated to enabling the next generation of the cloud. To that end, we held the Innovation In The Cloud Conference in 2015 with presentations from a number of like-minded Open Source projects like Hyper. By working with these projects, Xen Project aims to facilitate a future cloud that is lighter weight and more nimble than current clouds.
