Are we essentially witnessing the death of the operating system?<p>Docker builds what amounts to giant statically linked binaries including images of an OS as support, while unikernels relegate the OS to library status.<p>In both cases this is starting to look like the way you deploy to embedded devices: build image, flash image to device.
