### []{#anchor-48}Beyond the first production-ready release
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are some features that may be added later :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- App store
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- An application store for distributing prepackaged and
|
|
|
|
|
easy-to-deploy operating systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A new GUI application to manage virtual machines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The virtual machine manager does more than what Phyllome OS
|
|
|
|
|
needs. It would make sense to rely on a leaner, more simple
|
|
|
|
|
software, similar to GNOME Boxes.
|
|
|
|
|
- Ideally, it would be written in Rust, just as the Cloud
|
|
|
|
|
Hypervisor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Graphics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Out-of-the box support for Single GPU passthrough
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support for single GPU passthrough would make it easier to
|
|
|
|
|
run Phyllome OS on hardware that features a single graphics
|
|
|
|
|
card lacking support for vfio-mdev.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Out-of-the box support for vfio-mdev on Nvidia, consumer grade
|
|
|
|
|
GPUs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A 2021 project[^53] is bringing vfio-mdev to Nvidia,
|
|
|
|
|
consumer grade GPUs. It would be great to support it and
|
|
|
|
|
offer Phyllome's users the ability to split their physical
|
|
|
|
|
GPUs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Out-of-the box support for SR/IOV on generation 11^th^ of Intel
|
|
|
|
|
graphics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Streaming
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Making encoding and decoding a virtual machine desktop or
|
|
|
|
|
display more efficient would allow for more diverse uses,
|
|
|
|
|
including usable remote desktops.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- For that to happen, it would mean to support virtio-video.
|
|
|
|
|
- Another route would be to use WebRTC on Wayland.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support the Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Version 1.2 of the VIRTIO specification will soon be released
|
|
|
|
|
with new virtual devices. Phyllome OS will need to support
|
|
|
|
|
these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support platform-dependent confidential computing features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- On public clouds -- where many virtual machines are collocated
|
|
|
|
|
underneath the same hypervisor -- there are ongoing efforts to
|
|
|
|
|
make it possible to run workloads without having to blindly
|
|
|
|
|
trust the host system. Some of those efforts rely on
|
|
|
|
|
platform-specific technologies, such as Intel's SGX Secure
|
|
|
|
|
Enclave or and AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV). It
|
|
|
|
|
would be nice to be able to support these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- First-class support for more open x86 hardware
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- It would be great to optimize Phyllome OS to work on a recent,
|
|
|
|
|
more open x86 motherboard that supports both openBMC and
|
|
|
|
|
Coreboot[^54].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support beyond the x86 architecture
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support for hardware based on ARM and RISC-V architectures would
|
|
|
|
|
be great.
