Zero Trust

In the USENIX presentation above, Nadav Har’El talks about the performance advantages of OSv, but completely forgets to mention the security advantages that OSv offers. Performance optimizations can quickly become a distraction. The most important issue is security, and OSv fits particularly well into the zero-trust internal network model. OSv allows programmer to package their applications into VM images that can be easily deployed to the cloud. With OSv there is less reliance on system administrators to manage the security of the cloud deployment, and therefore less people that need privileged trusted access within the network.
