Making it straightforward and easy to build/deploy secure unikernels is an important step forward. It's pretty neat that we've been able to do this using our OCaml libs throughout (we previously had instructions that used OpenSSL as part of the certificate signing).

this is impressive, and you can even first compile the unikernel as unix binary and run the webserver standalone, before deploying your virtual machine to your hosting provider!

As an aside, you can also see how the self-hosted site is doing via https://mirage.io/stats/gc :)

I was rather impressed that someone managed to implement HTTPS on a Zilog Z80. Was less impressed when I learned this MirageOS was merely an x86 OS which apparently stole, er, happens to have the same name as [1].
