I’ve done a lot of stuff in the last half of 2017, but not much of it has made it here. Here’s a roundup of things published/spoken/embroidered/etc in other places:

A Quick Guide to Quick Changes in MirageOS

Thu, 26 Nov 2015 12:14:50 +0000

MirageOS is a collection of libraries and a system for assembling them into unikernels. What happens if you want to make changes to those libraries and test them with a new unikernel?

Say, for example, I have a static website (like this blog) that I build in MirageOS. I want to make some changes to the TCP implementation against which the blog is built. In order to do that, I need to do all the following:

figure out which module to change
figure out which package provides that module
get the source for that package and instruct the package manager to use it instead of the release
make changes
reinstall the package with your changes
rebuild the unikernel completely
see whether changes had the desired effect

Here’s a quick primer on how.

OCaml Workshop and Strange Loop Talks

Wed, 07 Oct 2015 11:05:43 +0000

As a result of great encouragement from colleagues and friends, I gave a few talks in September.

Persistent Networking with Irmin and MirageOS, which I gave at the OCaml Workshop, is a talk on sticking a persistent database into various levels of the network stack. (It includes demonstrations from What a Distributed, Version-Controlled ARP Cache Gets You, as well as an Irmin-ified NAT device that I haven’t yet written up here.) The slides for my OCaml Workshop talk are also available.
