Challenges and Opportunities - Unikernels in HPC && Cloud

Where there are challenges there are opportunities.

The first half of this talk we deal with security challenges in HPC environments while in the second half of the talk we deal with challenges in bringing unikernels to cloud environments. We touch on the fact that commonly listed challenges such as debugging are not true while there does exist other real challenges such as dependencies and public cloud environments.
