mirage - MirageOS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels

OCaml

The most up-to-date documentation can be found at the homepage. The site is self-hosted, and is itself a useful example. Simpler skeleton applications are also available online. There are several diverse backends in MirageOS that require rather specialised build steps (from Xen to KVM unikernels), and this complexity is wrapped up in the tool.

Mist - Open source multi-cloud management platform

Python

Mist is an open source platform for managing heterogeneous computing infrastructure, aka a Multi-Cloud Management Platform. The managed computing resources may be running on any combination of public clouds, private clouds, hypervisors, bare metal servers, container hosts. Mist provides a unified way to operate, monitor & govern cloud resources. The mission statement of the Mist platform is to help commoditize computing by alleviating vendor lock-in.

Firecracker - Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing

Rust

Firecracker is an open source virtualization technology that is purpose-built for creating and managing secure, multi-tenant container and function-based services that provide serverless operational models. Firecracker runs workloads in lightweight virtual machines, called microVMs, which combine the security and isolation properties provided by hardware virtualization technology with the speed and flexibility of containers.

runtime - OCI (Open Containers Initiative) compatible runtime using Virtual Machines

cc-runtime is the next generation of Intel® Clear Containers runtime. This tool, henceforth referred to simply as "the runtime", builds upon the virtcontainers project to provide a high-performance standards-compliant runtime that creates hardware-virtualized containers which leverage Intel's VT-x technology.

ignite - Ignite a Firecracker microVM

Weave Ignite is an open source Virtual Machine (VM) manager with a container UX and built-in GitOps management. Ignite makes Firecracker easy to use by adopting its developer experience from containers. With Ignite, you pick an OCI-compliant image (Docker image) that you want to run as a VM, and then just execute ignite run instead of docker run. There’s no need to use VM-specific tools to build .vdi, .vmdk, or .qcow2 images, just do a docker build from any base image you want (e.g. ubuntu:18.04 from Docker Hub), and add your preferred contents.

Virt Manager - Desktop tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt

The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It primarily targets KVM VMs, but also manages Xen and LXC (linux containers). It presents a summary view of running domains, their live performance & resource utilization statistics. Wizards enable the creation of new domains, and configuration & adjustment of a domain’s resource allocation & virtual hardware. An embedded VNC and SPICE client viewer presents a full graphical console to the guest domain.

solo5 - A sandboxed execution environment for unikernels

Solo5 originally started as a project by Dan Williams at IBM Research to port MirageOS to run on the Linux/KVM hypervisor. Since then, it has grown into a more general sandboxed execution environment, suitable for running applications built using various unikernels (a.k.a. library operating systems), targeting different sandboxing technologies on diverse host operating systems and hypervisors. Looking for the "ukvm monitor"? Since Solo5 0.4.0, our terminology has changed to better reflect the intended architecture and long-term goals of the project. What used to be referred to as a monitor is now referred to as a tender. As part of this change, the ukvm target and monitor have been renamed to hvt ("hardware virtualized tender") to reflect that they are no longer specific to the KVM hypervisor.

runq - run regular Docker images in KVM/Qemu

runq is a hypervisor-based Docker runtime based on runc to run regular Docker images in a lightweight KVM/Qemu virtual machine. The focus is on solving real problems, not on number of features. runq requires a host kernel >= 4.8 with KVM and VHOST_VSOCK support enabled. The easiest way to build runq and to put all dependencies together is using Docker. For fast development cycles a regular build environment might be more efficient. For this refer to section Developing runq below.

kAFL - A fuzzer for full VM kernel/driver targets

Python

This is a fork of the kAFL kernel fuzzer. It can be used for targets that execute efficiently as Qemu/KVM guests, including BIOS, custom kernels and full-blown Linux VMs. kAFL uses Qemu/KVM and Intel PT to provide fast execution and coverage feedback. This allows to run many x86 FW and OS kernels with any desired toolchain and without major modifications.
