libkrun 1.19.4-1

Package Information

DescriptionLibrary for Virtualization-based process isolation - version 1

libkrun is a dynamic library that allows programs to easily acquire the ability to run processes in a partially isolated environment using KVM Virtualization on Linux and HVF on macOS/ARM64. It integrates a VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor, the userspace side of an Hypervisor) with the minimum amount of emulated devices required to its purpose, abstracting most of the complexity that comes from Virtual Machine management, offering users a simple C API.
