Top 12 Rust Virtualization Projects

Virtualization

  1. firecracker

    Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing.

    Project mention: Show HN: Ephemeral VMs in 1 Microsecond | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-20

  3. xi-editor

    A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.

  4. kata-containers

    Kata Containers is an open source project and community working to build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that feel and perform like containers, but provide the workload isolation and security advantages of VMs. https://katacontainers.io/

    Project mention: Comparing 3 Docker container runtimes - Runc, gVisor and Kata Containers | dev.to | 2024-10-29

    I bet the first thing you think that it is a bug. There is an issue on GitHub where someone thought the same. The fact is that Kata containers are different and there are Limitations. The first I noticed too, that there is no way to share process or network namespaces between Docker containers. The fact that you cannot use the process namespace or network namespace of the host is easily understandable because we have a VM and not just a host kernel isolating our processes.

  5. 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.

    Project mention: Kubernetes on Hybrid Cloud: Bare-metal or Hypervisor | dev.to | 2025-01-12

  6. vagga

    Vagga is a containerization tool without daemons

  7. hermit-rs

    Hermit for Rust.

  8. kernel

    A Rust-based, lightweight unikernel.
