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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
crosvm is currently used to run Linux/Android guests on Chrome OS devices.
