# crosvm - The Chrome OS Virtual Machine Monitor
crosvm is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) based on Linuxs KVM hypervisor, with a focus on
simplicity, security, and speed. crosvm is intended to run Linux guests, originally as a security
boundary for running native applications on the Chrome OS platform. Compared to QEMU, crosvm doesnt
emulate architectures or real hardware, instead concentrating on paravirtualized devices, such as
the virtio standard.
crosvm is currently used to run Linux/Android guests on Chrome OS devices.
