Sponsored Keynote: The Future of Virtualization
summary
Argues virtualization must shift from VM consolidation to tiny, secure, fast primitives for cloud-native workloads, citing Firecracker and the community-built rust-vmm as concrete responses. rust-vmm exposes modular components — device models, memory abstraction, virtio/vhost and pass-through — so teams can assemble a custom hypervisor with a small memory footprint and reduced attack surface. Describes a real build based on rust-vmm (cloud-hypervisor/crosvm lineage), reports cross-vendor contributions (Amazon, Alibaba, Google, Intel) and active releases and ongoing feature work like live migration.
