Announcing qboot, a minimal x86 firmware for QEMU
This is great, but lately I just can't keep up with the virtualisation changes. I got really excited about google's novm - that's dead now. kvmtools never got included into kernel afaik. qboot will be great, but it looks like it doesn't really support the light IO solutions (like novm's file, rather than block access). Now there's clear containers which is actually kvm, which looks like docker-meets-qboot. And many others in between.<p>This doesn't seem right, honestly. Half of the projects have the same approach or goals. (quick boot time and no legacy supported) So why do they die and get reinvented every single time?<p>Something is wrong...
