crosvm is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) based on Linux’s 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 doesn’t
|
|
|
|
|
|
emulate architectures or real hardware, instead concentrating on paravirtualized devices, such as
|
|
|
|
|
|
the virtio standard.
