Microkernel Architecture

Microkernel Architecture is a kernel design paradigm in which the core operating system functions are minimized to essential mechanisms such as inter-process communication, thread management, and memory management, while higher-level services such as device drivers and file systems are implemented as user-space processes, thereby enhancing modularity, security, and system reliability.
