Rumprun is a unikernel built on rump kernels that runs unmodified POSIX applications on hypervisors (KVM, Xen) and bare metal. It includes a toolchain for building and running single-purpose application images in C, C++, Go, Rust, Python, Node.js, and more.
Use cases
- run unmodified POSIX apps as unikernels on KVM or Xen
- build minimal single-purpose server images like nginx or redis
- deploy lightweight cloud instances on Amazon EC2
- run applications on embedded bare-metal hardware
- package existing software like memcached or leveldb as unikernels
When to choose
- you want to run existing POSIX software as a lightweight unikernel
- you need minimal-footprint deployments on Xen, KVM, or bare metal
- you are targeting embedded systems or cloud VMs with a single application
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose OS with multi-process workloads
- you require actively maintained tooling and recent platform support
- you want container or Kubernetes-based deployment workflows
