Linux Devices posted this late last year, so it isn't 'news' per se, but I just found it this morning.
The article seems to say that with their 'Warp 2' setup, Lineo can reboot via a very fast method: load (into ram) a saved 'ram state' image and then resume operation from there.
I'm thinking that with the Solid State Drive technology available today, such as (for example) a Transcend TS16GSSD25-S PATA Solid State disk drive, would there be a way for websites to be written to a read only memory setup placed on the SSD, and then whenever the site crashes, just use the Warp 2 tools to reload the site into RAM in a few seconds?
IIRC, this idea works for public web kiosks to reload from CDROM, so changing source hardware seems to be plausible. The advantage of SSD are that they are faster than reloading from hard disk, yet a server may have larger memory saves to be reloaded, which would tend to cancel out the speed in favor of larger image capacity.
Imagine a web server crashing, and within 5 seconds is back to a pristine setup, reloaded from the Solid State Drive which holds a RAM image.
