#virtualization
Wiki 8
- emirb.github.io Emir Beganović's personal blog (Booking.com Staff SRE) on infrastructure, virtualization, and KubeCon-shaped industry surveys
- Maybe we should revisit microkernels Short argument that IOMMU and shared-memory ring buffers dissolve the 90s microkernel overhead case
- MicroVM A virtual machine pared down to the minimum needed to run a single workload — small VMM, few emulated devices, fast boot, hardware-isolated kernel
- QEMU microvm machine type QEMU's stripped-down x86 machine type — no PCI, no ACPI, virtio-mmio only, qboot firmware, direct kernel boot, triple-fault shutdown
- rust-vmm Shared Rust crate ecosystem under most modern VMMs — kvm-ioctls, vm-memory, virtio-queue, vhost-user — with multi-vendor governance
- Spindle — QEMU microVM CI engine for Tangled Tangled's self-hostable CI runner gains a QEMU-microVM engine — per-workflow VMs, NixOS-from-YAML config, a vsock guest agent, and two-way Nix caching
- VMs Won't Contain Cyber-Capable Agents A Trail of Bits researcher gave GPT 5.6-Cyber a VM-escape CTF; it broke out three times, using disclosed bugs, an unpatched Debian library, and its own 0-days
- Your Container Is Not a Sandbox — MicroVM Isolation in 2026 Emir Beganović's KubeCon-EU-2026 readout on the microVM ecosystem and why agentic AI is becoming microVMs' "Docker moment"
Toolbox 1
- pve-microvm Debian package that adds sub-second-booting QEMU microvm guests to Proxmox VE
Books 1
- Virtual Machines: Versatile Platforms for Systems and Processes Smith and Nair's taxonomy of process VMs and system VMs, from ISA to application level
