Released on Friday was Cloud-Hypervisor 0.14, the Intel-led open-source effort creating a Rust-based and cloud-focused multi-platform hypervisor.

This open-source VMM continues to leverage KVM on Linux but with its growing support also is seeing improvements for Microsoft Hyper-V (MSHV) support too. Cloud-Hypervisor continues making use of the Rust-VMM crates while maintaining guiding principles of high performance and security/cloud minded.
