One of the fundamental problems with UNIX-like operating systems is that they don't seem to make it easy and intuitive to developapplications that are strongly hardened against exploits through sandboxing. With CloudABI, we're trying to make this process a lot easier.
CloudABI is a blend of POSIX and pure capability-based security, which allows you to create applications that are only capable of accessing those things that they are designed to use. As you'll see, software also becomes easier to test and deploy as a result of using this model.

DESCRIPTION:Containerised Application technologies like AppImage, Snappy and Flatpak promise a brave new world for Linux applications, free from the worries of shared libraries and dependency issues.Just one problem, this is a road long travelled before, such as in the application dark ages of Win32 applications and DLLs. And it worked out so wonderfully there...Do we risk a future where, like the resurrected dinosaurs of Jurassic Park, this family of applications will break their containment and start eating our users?This session will try to present a balanced argument about the situation, frankly discussing the benefits promised by these technologies, but highlighting the very real issues and risks their widespread adoption could, and in some cases are, already bringing to the table.
