Intel Send Hypervisor Cloud Hypervisor , optimized for use in cloud systems For the patronage of the Linux Foundation organization, the infrastructure and services of which will be used in further development. The transition under the wing of Linux Foundation will save the project from dependence on a separate commercial company and simplify the joint work with the involvement of third-party participants. Companies such as Alibaba, Arm, Bytedance and Microsoft have already announced its support of the project, which, along with Intel developers, formed a chicken project.
Recall that cloud hypervisor provides working on top of KVM and MSHV virtual machine monitor (VMM) written in language RUST and built on the basis of the components of the joint project rust-vmm , allowing you to create specific hypervisors specific tasks. The project allows you to run Guest Systems (Linux, Windows) using Paravirtualized devices based on Virtio, the use of emulation is minimized. The key tasks mention: high responsiveness, low memory consumption, high performance, simplify settings and reducing possible vectors for attacks. There is support for the migration of virtual machines between servers and hot connections to CPU virtual machines, memory and PCI devices. Supported architecture X86-64 and AARCH64.
