  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

    QEMU commit queue for 9P (aka 9pfs) changes only. Please see http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch for how to submit changes to QEMU. Pull Requests are ignored. Please only use release tarballs from the QEMU website. (by cschoenebeck)

  • crosvm

    The Chrome OS Virtual Machine Monitor - Mirror of https://chromium.googlesource.com/crosvm/crosvm/

  • Same protocol, but the implementation is at the discretion of whoever writes the server code.

    For example I went to check and in crosvm we use a BTreeMap already for Fids for our p9 implementation (thankfully): https://github.com/google/crosvm/blob/main/common/p9/src/ser...

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • virtiofsd

  • FWIW, the contemporary alternative to 9p is virtiofs. It is implemented as a separate service that is running aside the hypervisor. Originally out of qemu, it was rewritten in Rust as a freestanding project that can also be used with cloud-hypervisor and crosvm.
