Why wouldn’t you use a standard container based approach like Docker?

The last time I tried, it was pretty slow to fire up, especially when I tried to run multiple submissions at once. It's also even more overkill for my use case; I currently use isolate (https://github.com/ioi/isolate) which is just a wrapper around cgroups/namespaces, and it's been a lot faster.

Sidenote: I'm not really looking to replace it, I was just asking out of curiosity since this is my first time hearing of unikernels

Yes. This is the fastest you can get.

If you want safer, add pr_set_seccomp _in addition_ to it. but that would be a custom solution.
