Hyperlight
Hyperlight is a lightweight Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) designed to be embedded within applications. It enables safe execution of untrusted code within micro virtual machines with very low latency and minimal overhead.
About
Hyperlight lets you safely run untrusted code inside hypervisor-isolated micro VMs that spin up in milliseconds, with guest function calls completing in microseconds. You embed it as a library in your Rust application, hand it a guest binary, and call functions across the VM boundary as naturally as calling a local function. To minimize startup time and memory footprint, there's no guest kernel or OS. Guests are purpose-built using the Hyperlight guest library.
