Virtual machine monitors that run guest operating systems within a userspace environment.
Distinct from Userspace Kernels: Distinct from userspace kernels as it manages full guest OS execution and hardware emulation rather than just isolating system calls.

Hyperkit is a userspace virtual machine monitor and a development toolkit for building custom hypervisors. It provides primitives for embedding virtualization and hardware emulation capabilities directly into applications to execute guest operating systems within a userspace environment. The project features a guest operating system bootstrapping tool that loads kernels and initializes CPU states without relying on traditional firmware. It includes a hardware emulation library to create virtualized storage, serial ports, and networking components for guest system access. The system covers vi
Executes guest operating systems within a userspace environment to isolate system execution from the host kernel.
