These tenets guide Nanos' development:
- Security:
Nanos aims to be a much more secure system than Linux. It does this through several thrusts. Not having the notion of users, running a single process per vm, and limiting the amount of code that is incorporated into each vm.
- Minimalist:
KISS. As Nanos is not intended to be ran on bare metal we strive to keep the core as simple as possible.
- Performance:
All contributions must align with this charter.
