Firecracker is a virtual machine monitor that leverages hardware-assisted virtualization to create and manage isolated execution environments. It functions as a lightweight runtime designed to launch virtual machines with minimal memory overhead and near-instantaneous startup times, providing the security of traditional hardware virtualization with the efficiency of containerized workloads. The project distinguishes itself through a security-focused architecture that enforces strict process boundaries using system-level barriers and restricted user privileges. It minimizes the attack surface

This project is a secure container runtime that provides strong isolation for application workloads by implementing a userspace kernel. By intercepting system calls and executing them within a memory-safe, restricted environment, it minimizes the attack surface exposed to the host kernel. It functions as a drop-in engine for standard container orchestration platforms, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard runtime specifications while maintaining a hardened execution boundary. The runtime distinguishes itself through its ability to virtualize core system resources, including an indepen

Cloud Hypervisor is a Rust-based hypervisor and KVM virtual machine monitor designed to execute 64-bit guest operating systems. It functions as a user-space virtual machine manager that employs a minimal emulation layer to reduce memory overhead and latency for cloud workloads. The project distinguishes itself through the use of a memory-safe language to implement a virtio device emulator and a user-space device model. It provides a standardized web API for managing virtual machine lifecycles and resource configurations. The platform covers broad virtualization capabilities, including the em

TinyVM is a small, fast, lightweight virtual machine written in pure ANSI C.

HAXM is a cross-platform hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor), widely used as an accelerator for Android Emulatorandroid-studio and QEMUqemu. It has always supported running on Windows and macOS, and has been ported to other host operating systems as well, such as Linux…

SimpleVisor is a simple, portable, Intel VT-x hypervisor with two specific goals: using the least amount of assembly code (10 lines), and having the smallest amount of VMX-related code to support dynamic hyperjacking and unhyperjacking (that is, virtualizing the host state from within the host). It works on Windows and UEFI.
