Enabling Operating

System Innovation in the


Cloud
The evolution of cloud computing is closely intertwined with the
evolution of operating systems. OS innovation in the cloud is
driving efficiency, scalability, and security, transforming how we
build and deploy applications.
Key Drivers of OS Innovation in the Cloud
1 Microservices & Containers 2 Virtualization & Hypervisors 3 Serverless Computing
• Microservices break down • Virtualization enables • Serverless computing allows
applications into smaller, multiple operating systems developers to focus on code,
independent units, allowing to run on a single physical not server management,
for faster development and server, improving resource while the cloud platform
