> When I talk to JEE servers via JMX I don't care if they run on as OS process, on a container, hypervisor or even a bare-metal JVM.
But I think the whole point on the thread was that, making all this possible on unikernels, would require putting back a big part of the code that went away when making the unikernel lean and mean (and interesting because of that).
That is what people that favor an UNIX userland advocate.
An optional debug layer for JVM, Erlang, CLR running bare-metal (just as possible language examples) is tailored made for such runtimes and much thinner than all the services a general purpose OS needs to provide.
