WASM? BEAM? JVM? Anything?
"Linux" is huge overkill for a cloud abstraction.
Cloud applications don't need 99% of all device drivers and the desired ones need to be tuned for cloud anyways. Cloud applications need a persistent store but not necessarily a filesystem. Cloud applications don't want to think about process scheduling they want to assume they have the CPU and memory they need. etc.
