IncludeOS runs on virtual machines like Linux KVM, and VMWare ESXi/Fusion.[3]
IncludeOS applications boot in about 300 ms. On Solo5/uKVM from IBM Research, boot times as low as 10 milliseconds are possible.[4]
Architecture
The minimalist architecture of IncludeOS means that it does not have any virtual memory space. In turn, therefore, there is no concept of either system calls or user space.[3]
