Kata Containers is an open source container runtime, building lightweight virtual machines that seamlessly plug into the container ecosystem. Kata Containers is an open source community working to build a secure container runtime with lightweight virtual machines that feel and perform like containers, but provide stronger workload isolation using hardware virtualization technology as a second layer of defense. Since launching in December 2017, the community successfully merged the best parts...

crosvm (ChromeOS Virtual Machine Monitor) is a secure, lightweight virtual machine monitor built on top of the Linux KVM hypervisor. Developed for ChromeOS, it is designed to isolate and execute Linux and Android guests efficiently while maintaining strong security boundaries. Unlike general-purpose emulators like QEMU, crosvm avoids full hardware emulation and focuses on modern paravirtualized I/O using the virtio standard, reducing complexity and attack surface. Written in Rust, it...

runwasi is a project developed within the containerd ecosystem that enables running WebAssembly workloads as first-class citizens in containerized environments. It provides a library and runtime components that integrate with containerd, allowing Wasm modules to be executed using familiar container orchestration workflows such as Kubernetes via the Container Runtime Interface. Unlike traditional containers that rely on operating system virtualization, runwasi focuses on lightweight, secure...
