phyllomeos VS cloud-hypervisor

As of now, the virtual machine GUI is just [Virtual Machine Manager](https://virt-manager.org/), already packaged for many Linux distro, but with [tweaked defaults](https://github.com/PhyllomeOS/phyllomeos/blob/main/post/configure-vmm-and-desktop.sh).

There is no mention of cloud-hypervisor[1] (also in the rust-vmm ecosystem) in the article. It has the memory reclamation feature they require. It also support VFIO and virtiofs.

https://github.com/tandasat/Hypervisor-101-in-Rust is there to help

https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor isn't educational necessarily but is one of the most technically progressive fastest developing highest funded vm projects ever, and there are oodles of tech talks on it. I am not qualified to make any specific recommendations, but there's tons of stuff here.

> The goal of the Cloud Hypervisor project differs from the aforementioned projects in that it aims to be a general purpose VMM for Cloud Workloads and not limited to container/serverless or client workloads.

Firecracker is such a great piece of technology. I'm amazed that AWS actually open-sourced it. All kudos to them. We're using Firecracker at our company to allow API companies build interactive demos like this one we built for Prisma [1].

Relatively new project 'Cloud Hypervisor' https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor seems to launch images faster.

The Chrome OS hypervisor was then evolved/forked into Firecracker and Intel's Cloud Hypervisor, with the latter supporting both Linux and Windows. Perhaps Cloud Hypervisor would serve as a good backbone for sandboxing, with its Rust implementation and focus on security?

GitHub - cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor: A Virtual Machine Monitor for modern Cloud workloads. Features include CPU, memory and device hotplug, support for running Windows and Linux guests, device offload with vhost-user and a minimal compact footprint. Written in Rust with a strong focus on security.

Did you guys think about live migrations? https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor seems to support it and it shares a good amount of code with firecracker.

Virtink is a Kubernetes add-on for running Cloud Hypervisor virtual machines. By using Cloud Hypervisor as the underlying hypervisor, Virtink enables a lightweight and secure way to run fully virtualized workloads in a canonical Kubernetes cluster.
