| # crosvm - The ChromeOS Virtual Machine Monitor |
| |
| crosvm is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) based on Linux’s KVM hypervisor, with a focus on |
| simplicity, security, and speed. crosvm is intended to run Linux guests, originally as a security |
| boundary for running native applications on the ChromeOS platform. Compared to QEMU, crosvm doesn’t |
| emulate architectures or real hardware, instead concentrating on paravirtualized devices, such as |
| the virtio standard. |
| |
| crosvm is currently used to run Linux/Android guests on ChromeOS devices. |
