# About Unikraft Cloud

## About Unikraft About Unikraft

Re-imagining the Cloud. From the Ground Up.

## We're Here to Fix Cloud Infrastructure

The cloud is broken. It's wasteful, slow, and overloaded with legacy architecture that wasn't built for today's real-time traffic. Unikraft is building the first truly millisecond-native, highly scalable cloud platform.

### Millisecond Cold Boots

### Default Scale-to-Zero & Autoscale

### Massive VM Server Density

### Speaks Docker & Kubernetes

## Cloud Waste is no Longer Acceptable
- Companies over-provision infrastructure to mask the failures of legacy design.
- This generates a massive scalability barrier, throttling your business.
- It's time to break through that barrier.

## From research to revolution
- 2017 — Research begins at NEC Labs Europe to reimagine a cloud OS from first principles.
- 2019 — The Unikraft OS project was launched as part of the Linux Foundation.
- 2021 — A new startup is born.
- 2022 — We raise a pre-seed round with top-tier backers.
- 2024 — Launch of Unikraft Cloud, the world's first truly scalable, millisecond cloud platform.
