Xen Project
Bring the power of open virtualization everywhere.
Xen Project is an open-source virtualization initiative that develops a powerful hypervisor used by over 10 million people and supported by more than 2000 commercial partners. It provides flexible, secure virtualization technology for servers, cloud, desktop, embedded, and automotive environments. The project also maintains an ecosystem of related tools and sub-projects including MirageOS, Unikraft, XAPI, and XCP-ng.
The Xen Project hypervisor uses a minimal-attack-surface architecture with hardware virtualization support, enabling isolation of multiple guest operating systems on a single host with modular security features like KCONFIG and VM introspection.
