Osv.io Website Review

effortless deployment and management, with superior performance. The language runtime, OS and hypervisor all provide protection and abstraction. OSv minimizes the redundancy in these layers by OSv reduces the memory and cpu overhead imposed by a traditional OS. Scheduling is lightweight, the application and the kernel cooperate, and memory pools are shared. OSv provides unparalleled short latencies and constant predictable performance, which translates directly to capex savings by reducing the size and number of OS instances. OSv gives you low overhead and rapid turnaround, like containers, but with the deployment flexiblity you only get from true virtualization. With the Capstan build tool, you can build and run with one command, but create a complete virtual machine that will run on your existing cloud environment. Creating a VM image adds only 12-20MB of overhead, three seconds of build time, and a few lines of configuration. Learn deployment, based on cloud-init, that works the same across public and private clouds. OSv instances can be deployed directly from a developer IDE or through your continuous integration system, either within the enterprise or to the cloud. It’s as fast and convenient as a PaaS system, but everything is deployed as a first-clas* virtual machine directly to Ja*a frameworks such as Tomcat, JBoss, and SpringSource run flawlessly on OSv, along with other popular language runtimes such as Ruby. Usually OSv runs unmodified applications. In order to provide even better performance, it’s possible to access a low level kernel api. An application has access to the block device and flushing, and can map the NIC descriptors directly (virtio-app) and signal the hypervisor. We believe that the number of cycles the application requires should always be smaller than the kernel path. OSv is used in MIKELANGELO, a project designed to bridge the gap between HPC and Cloud, by bringing cloud flexibility to HPC and HPC efficiency and power to the cloud.
