    zsvirt

    2KZSvirt/zsvirt · Java

    ZSvirt is an open-source IaaS virtualization engine that brings ZStack's enterprise ZSphere technology to the community, letting you run and manage virtual machines on KVM-based hosts without vendor lock-in.

    darwin-vm

    1.2Kjprx/darwin-vm · Shell

    darwin-vm boots iOS or macOS (Darwin) inside QEMU straight to a root shell, so you can debug the kernel, edit the filesystem, and run your own custom programs. It supports emulating iPhone 12-17 (A14-A19) and M1-M5 Macs.

  5. 8

    virtio-nvgpu

    431nestrilabs/virtio-nvgpu · Rust

    A virtio device that shares one NVIDIA GPU across several KVM virtual machines at near-bare-metal speed, by forwarding kernel-driver ioctls instead of translating graphics APIs. The target use case is headless streaming: the guest renders and encodes on the GPU, and only compressed video leaves.

  6. 9

    nvx

    404microsoft/nvx · Python

    NVX is an ultra-light micro-VM sandbox for running untrusted workloads with hardware-enforced isolation, built on OpenVMM and running Linux as the guest OS.

  7. 10

    steamac

    385fxgl/steamac · Swift

    steamac runs Valve's actual ARM64 SteamOS (the Steam Frame image) inside a lightweight VM on Apple Silicon Macs, with GPU acceleration handled through Venus and Vulkan-on-Metal via MoltenVK.

  8. 11

    allox-os

    313AlloxOrg/allox-os · Python

    A dedicated runtime for AI agents: it runs multiple agents and sessions inside a Kata-isolated VM and adds workspace isolation, checkpointing, rollback and observability on top of it.

    quicksand

    218microsoft/quicksand · Python

    Quicksand is an async Python API for launching, controlling, and snapshotting QEMU virtual machines, built specifically for sandboxing AI agents.
