What is Nanos?

Nanos is a new kernel designed to run one and only one application in a virtualized environment. It has several constraints on it compared to a general purpose operating system such as Windows or Linux - namely it's a single process system with no support for running multiple programs nor does it have the concept of users or remote administration via ssh.

Run code faster

Nanos is fast. How fast you ask? Our latest benchmarks show that Nanos serves static content almost twice as fast as Linux. …and we are just getting started.
