Unikraft – Fast, Specialized Unikernels

Looks promising!

How do you avoid problem of creating a unikernel that appears to work, until you exercise some different code path at runtime that needs some modular OS feature you didn't think to include in the unikernel?

(I have no idea if this is a real problem, just seemed like it could be from skim reading the basics)

You could try fuzzing. But, if you do not include a modular OS feature(e.g network stack), the unikernel would not compile since it's missing symbols.

Yes, that's right. If you do not include a module that could potentially be used, you'd be missing that symbol and it would not compile.
