Abstract
Enabling a Light-Weight Kernel (LWK) to run in a virtualized environment on a Full-Weight Kernel (FWK), in one aspect, may include replacing a FWK loader, e.g., FWK's dynamic library loader or linker, with a LWK library on a first computing entity for an application allocated to run on one or more second computing entities. The LWK library may be enabled to initialize the one or more second computing entities and associated memory allocated to run the application under the LWK library. The LWK library may be enabled to manage the one or more second computing entities and said associated memory and resources needed by the application.
