## What it is
DragonOS is a 64-bit operating system with a fully independent kernel written from scratch in Rust, offering Linux binary compatibility. It targets lightweight cloud computing and serverless scenarios, with support for eBPF, virtualization, and emerging container support.

## Use cases
- run Linux binaries on a Rust-written kernel
- lightweight kernel for serverless cloud workloads
- experiment with eBPF on a non-Linux kernel
- research operating system development in Rust
- test containerized workloads on an alternative kernel
- try a cloud-native OS in a browser playground

## When to choose
- you need a memory-safe, Rust-based kernel for cloud or serverless experimentation
- you want Linux binary compatibility without running Linux itself
- you are researching OS kernel design or contributing to a from-scratch kernel

## When to avoid
- you need full Linux compatibility for production today (only ~1/4 of Linux interfaces implemented)
- you require mature driver, hardware, or ecosystem support
- you need a general-purpose desktop OS

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: security, container-runtime
- domain: operating-systems, cloud-computing, security
- platform: rust, cloud
- tags: rust-kernel, linux-compatibility, ebpf, serverless, cloud-native, from-scratch-kernel, operating-system, virtualization, containers, linux
