We've put Linux in firmware and reduced boot time 20x and closed-source components 10x as part of the LinuxBoot project, a joint initiative by Google, Facebook, and others. Want to see how it works and how you can make it work on your server platforms? Come see our BoF with a demo!
Chris is a software engineer at Google and currently works on bringing LinuxBoot to production at Google. In a previous life, he worked on various kernel features for gVisor and supported gVisor customers like AppEngine.
