Seems like an ok 'Hello, Unikernel' article if a bit forced but her point about bots mining on AWS actually undermines her deployment strategy: the miners have been compromising AWS credentials/security NOT boxes hosted on AWS. They don't want your little t2.micro instance running a static server. They startup new c3.8xlarge instances and deploy their software.

She's still hosting this thing in AWS so she's still vulnerable and no amount of Unikerneling is going to save her from that attack vector.

Sorry for the pun and creating a verb out of a noun.

No apologies are needed. In English, you can verb any noun (http://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Citations:verb)
