Thank you.Thus Unikernel is not a replacement for Virtualization.

Thus, it is not an alternative for Virtualization. It is a secure technology 
that running on Xen.Right?

Hello,
Is Unikraft (Unikernel) an alternative for Virtualization technology?


For instance, 

"The high level goal of Unikraft is to be able to build unikernels targeted at 
specific applications without requiring the time-consuming, expert work that 
building such a unikernel requires today. The main idea behind Unikraft is 
depicted in Figure 1 and consists of two basic components: (1) library pools 
containing libraries that the user of Unikraft can select from to create the 
unikernel and (2) a build tool and menu allowing users to pick and choose from 
those libraries to build images tailored to specific applications."
