What the article doesn't really emphasize enough is the aim of Cloudius is entirely about running the JVM. This of course will guarantee popularity amongst "enterprise" types.
However it's still very similar to running a JVM in a process directly on the host. You could do something similar by running a JVM on the host and using cgroups to confine it.
Cloudius's USP is that existing clouds are already running full guest operating systems, so their OS-v running a JVM fits into this landscape naturally. Architecturally it's nothing new.
I wish Dor & Avi well though :-) (ex Red Hat associates)
