Rust-vmm Status Report
summary
Rust-vmm provides modular virtualization crates in Rust, used in production since 2019 by Firecracker, cloud-hypervisor, Alibaba Cloud Sandbox and Inax, and is moving specific crates from design to crates.io with a clear quality gate: 80–90% line coverage, tests and public API docs. Recent work includes vhost, vmm-reference and the first emulation crate vm-superio, adds event-manager and performance benchmarks (some benchmarks >1 hour requiring nightly infra), and a code audit that found and fixed memory and serial console denial‑of‑service bugs.
