[Links of the Day] 14/02/2019: golang fast HTTP , virtio shared file-system, enclave application

• FastHTTP : like net/http but up to 10x faster . Zero memory allocation on a fast path. When you really really need to go fast and the standard golang lib is not enough.
• Virtio-fs : shared file system build on top of the virtio framework. Finally a good way of sharing files and data between the host and the guest VM or between guests [git].
• Asylo : I recently came across the concept of enclave applications. An enclave is a special execution context where code can run protected from even the OS kernel, with the guarantee that even a user running with root privileges cannot extract the enclave’s secrets or compromise its integrity. It relies on Intel SGX or ARM trustzone security hardware feature to protect the runtime operation of the process. This might be the next security level for highly regulated industries that want to deploy in a public cloud environment which will completely eliminate a lot of the conundrum that they currently face.
