TamaGo is a framework that enables compilation and execution of unencumbered Go applications on bare metal.
This talk covers recent updates of the TamaGo framework which greatly expands its scope and reach, allowing unikernel firmware deployment not only on embedded systems, but also on x86_64 bootloaders and under KVMs.
In recent months the TamaGo framework expanded its support to new targets.
This talk explores the TamaGo runtime evolution towards ta "Rosetta Stone" for integration of freestanding Go runtimes within arbitrary environment, whether bare metal or OS supported, such evolution is playing an important role in the upstreaming efforts of TamaGo runtime changes towards the vanilla Go distribution.
We will also explore the recently developed support of AMD64 architectures and its applications for unikernel execution under a variety of Linux KVM frameworks as well as under the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).
We will cover the tooling, API and expanded deployment scenarios resulting from the AMD64 support, as well as the resulting unified AMD64/ARM/RISC-V runtime API and its advantages in the role of code development cross-firmware and cross-cloud deployments.
Finally we discuss the interactions with the u-root project, used to create the go-boot project and the future roadmap to a potential support for a bare metal u-root integration.
