Networking support for macOS #841
Description
Overview
KraftKit, the supporting codebase for the modular library operating system Unikraft designed for cloud native applications, provides users with the ability to build, package and run unikernels. As a swiss-army-knife of unikernel development, it eases both the construction and deployment of unikernels. To this end, supporting diverse user environments and their ability to run unikernels locally supports the ultimate goal of the project. One such environment which requires more attention is macOS.
Towards better faciliting the execution of unikernel virtual machine images on macOS, this project aims to introduce new packages which interface directly with macOS environments by interfacing natively via the local networking environment such that the execution of unikernels is accessible through a more direct communication mechanisms of the host. Until now, the project only supports Linux bridge networking with accommodation (albeit "stubs") in the codebase for darwin.
