rust-vmm evolution on ecosystem and monorepo


It has been several years since the last rust-vmm update at FOSDEM, but the community has continued to grow. Our goal remains the same: to provide reusable Rust crates that make it easier and faster to build virtualization solutions.

This talk will present the main progress and achievements from the past few years. It reviews how rust-vmm crates integrate into a variety of projects such as Firecracker, Cloud Hypervisor, Dragonball, and libkrun. We will discuss the ongoing efforts to consolidate all crates into a single monorepo and how we expect this to simplify development and releases. The talk will also cover recent work supporting new architectures like RISC-V and additional operating systems. Finally, we will review the support for virtio and vhost-user devices that can be used by any VMM.
