crosvm (ChromeOS Virtual Machine Monitor) is a secure, lightweight virtual machine monitor built on top of the Linux KVM hypervisor. Developed for ChromeOS, it is designed to isolate and execute Linux and Android guests efficiently while maintaining strong security boundaries. Unlike general-purpose emulators like QEMU, crosvm avoids full hardware emulation and focuses on modern paravirtualized I/O using the virtio standard, reducing complexity and attack surface.

...MirageOS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels for secure, high-performance network applications across a variety of cloud computing and mobile platforms. Code can be developed on a normal OS such as Linux or macOS, and then compiled into a fully standalone, specialized unikernel that runs under a Xen or KVM hypervisor. This lets your services run more efficiently, securely and with finer control than with a full conventional software stack.

HaLVM is a Haskell-based unikernel system that lets you write entire virtual machines in Haskell and run them directly on a hypervisor, traditionally Xen. Instead of deploying a full operating system, you compile a Haskell program into a tiny image that boots as its own VM, which reduces the attack surface and startup time. The project adapts GHC and the Haskell runtime to a minimal environment, providing the I/O, networking, and memory facilities necessary for standalone services. ...
