We have shipped unikernels for the last decade. Zero sec issues so far. I highly recommend looking into the unikernel space for a docker alternative. MirageOS being a good start.

cool! What services have you shipped as unikernels? Docker doesn't have to be an alternative; it can help with the build/run pipeline for them too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkfXHBb-M4A (Dockercon 2015!)
Mostly finance stuff, and all the sensitive stuff that comes with it.

But the main benefit is the attack surface is greatly reduced when running a unikernel. Also we use way less resources and get really good perf.
