Resilience is often touted as the biggest advantage of component-based systems over monolithic architectures. The catchy part of the story often told is the containment of faults via sandboxing. However, the story has another inconvenient side that often remains untold. Components are interdependent. Whenever a central low-level component fails, dependent software stacks suffer under the outage. The talk presents Genode's recent breakthroughs to address this second part of the story, in particular making the system resilient against flaky device drivers.
