About

NanoVMs is the industry's leading unikernel platform, enabling developers and enterprises to run applications as lightweight, secure virtual machines without an underlying operating system. Using NanoVMs' open-source toolchain (OPS CLI and the Nanos kernel), any application can be compiled into a unikernel and deployed to AWS, GCP, Azure, VMware vSphere, or private infrastructure in seconds — with no DevOps required. Unikernels built with NanoVMs boot up to 100x faster than Docker containers and run applications up to 200% faster on GCP and 300% faster on AWS, while dramatically reducing the attack surface by eliminating the OS shell, user accounts, and unnecessary system calls. NanoVMs targets cloud migration, microservices, edge computing, serverless architectures, and regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government) requiring strong security posture.
