Nabla Containers - A New Approach to Container Isolation

Explore a conference talk on Nabla Containers, a novel approach to container isolation presented by Brandon Lum and Ricardo Koller from IBM. Delve into the security concerns surrounding horizontal attacks in cloud environments and learn how Nabla Containers address these issues by leveraging library OS/unikernel techniques to reduce the attack surface on host kernels. Discover how this innovative solution allows popular applications like Node.js, Python, and Redis to run with only 9 syscalls via seccomp. Compare Nabla Containers' isolation and performance metrics against other technologies such as gVisor and Kata Containers. Gain insights into how this technology could potentially revolutionize container security and isolation in container-native cloud environments.
