Likely they are shooting for the whole unikernel craze.
Cram this with some server into a VM and drop the VM on top of Linux in the cloud.
Supposedly this setup provides performance vs security middle ground between containers and a full blown distro in a VM.
Meaning that as there is just a minimal kernel present you get higher performance, while being wrapped in a VM reduce the potential of exploits compared to a container.
