FTL: A new operating system for clouds

FTL proposes a userspace OS as a library that isolates containers with a hypervisor-like interface and enables running Linux binaries without bare-metal hardware. The project blends microkernel security concepts with monolithic performance, allowing extensions to Linux features via the userspace OS and planning future support for filesystems and multi-language runtimes. The article provides an overview and a roadmap through early 2027.
