DESCRIPTION:rust-vmm is an open-source project\, born in January 2019 with
  ambitious goals:\n1) design and implement a set of safe\, secure and effi
 cient virtualization building blocks\, \n2) reduce code duplication across
  existing Rust based Virtual Machine Monitors (VMMs) and \n3) improve the 
 security and quality of existing Rust based VMMs.\n\nThe purpose of rust-v
 mm is to provide a foundation of virtualization crates that other projects
  can use for rapidly developing virtualization solutions. The rust-vmm pro
 ject empowers the community to focus on their product key differentiators 
 rather than re-implementing common virtualization components like KVM API 
 wrappers\, Virtio based device models and Virtual Machine memory libraries
 .\n\nIn this talk we go over the fundamentals of building VMMs and why we 
 believe Rust is the right programming language for this project. We look a
 t how different open source projects use rust-vmm crates to build virtuali
 zation products and prototypes while outlining both the advantages and the
  trade-offs. In the end we try to answer the controversial question: “Do
 es the world need more VMMs?”
