Unikernel Systems acquired by Docker (via The New Stack) / Jan 2016

My startup Unikernel Systems was acquired by Docker, and I'll be joining and setting up a UK branch of Docker along with the rest of my team.

'Just like we did with containers, we are interested is democratizing that technology, making it available and useful to the millions of developers and IT pros out there, said Solomon Hykes, founder and chief technology officer for Docker. 'Unikernels allow you to basically get rid of the operating system, and instead compile into the application the small bits of the operating system it really needs.' -- The New Stack
