At least three key projects using Linux and KVM are also taking advantage of Rust-vmm :
* crosvm (2010 --)
* **crosvm** (2010 --)
* Crosvm means the Chrome OS Virtual Machine Monitor. It allows the virtualization of guest systems on devices running Chrome OS and Chromium OS, its open-source counterpart. It is the oldest project of its kind, upon which others are built or forked.
* The ongoing Spectrum (2020) project is a promising attempt to built a secure desktop OS around Chromium OS, crosvm and the Nix declarative package management system.
* firecracker (2018 --)
* **firecracker** (2018 --)
* Originally built for desktop systems, crosvm has also been reused as a foundation for firecracker, the serverless computing platform which powers AWS Lambda. This is a story not unlike that of KVM, which was originally built with desktop workloads in mind but later gained traction as a solution for other workloads.
* Cloud Hypervisor (2019 --)
* **Cloud Hypervisor** (2019 --)
* Cloud Hypervisor may be considered as the spiritual successor to the now-defunct NEMU project. NEMU provided a stripped-down version of QEMU.
* Contrary to crosvm and projects that rely on it, it is possible to run non-Linux virtual guest systems on Cloud Hypervisor, provided that they support UEFI.
* As of today, there is no desktop-oriented operating system intended to take advantage of Cloud Hypervisor.

Until recently, any attempt to create a local-first, free and open-source operating system that could run atop affordable,virtualization-friendly hardware using basic building blocks similar to those used by major public clouds would rightfully be met
with skepticism.
