FTL introduces a userspace operating system for clouds
FTL is a new cloud operating system design that implements most OS functions as a userspace library inside each container. It aims to provide stronger isolation than traditional Linux containers while remaining compatible with Linux binaries and supporting Linux-style system calls through a minimal kernel interface. The project is positioned as a way to add and update OS features more safely, without requiring bare-metal deployment.
