Description

The AWS Nitro System serves as the backbone for the newest generation of Amazon EC2 instances, enabling quicker innovation, cost reductions for users, and improved security along with the introduction of new instance types. By rethinking virtualization infrastructure, AWS has transferred essential functions like CPU, storage, and networking virtualization to specialized hardware and software, thus freeing up nearly all server resources for use by instances. This innovative architecture includes several essential components: Nitro Cards, which accelerate and offload I/O tasks for services such as VPC, EBS, and instance storage; the Nitro Security Chip, which minimizes the attack surface and restricts administrative access to prevent human error and tampering; and the Nitro Hypervisor, a streamlined hypervisor that efficiently manages memory and CPU allocation, providing performance that closely resembles that of bare metal systems. Furthermore, the modular nature of the Nitro System facilitates the swift introduction of new EC2 instance types, enhancing the overall agility of AWS services. Overall, this comprehensive approach positions AWS to continue leading in cloud innovation and resource optimization.

Description

Xvisor® is a type-1 hypervisor that is open-source, designed to deliver a monolithic, lightweight, and adaptable virtualization solution. It boasts a high-performance capability while maintaining a low memory footprint for various CPU architectures, including ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7a, ARMv7a-ve, ARMv8a, x86_64, RISC-V, and more. Unlike many other ARM hypervisors, it uniquely supports ARM CPUs lacking virtualization extensions. Furthermore, it stands out as the first Type-1 hypervisor for RISC-V, showcasing its innovative approach. The source code of Xvisor is crafted for portability and can be readily adapted to most 32-bit or 64-bit architectures, provided they are equipped with a paged memory management unit (PMMU) and a compatible GNU C compiler (GCC). Xvisor primarily focuses on full virtualization, allowing it to support a diverse array of unmodified guest operating systems, while paravirtualization is an optional feature that can be implemented in an architecture-independent manner, such as through VirtIO PCI/MMIO devices. This flexibility makes Xvisor a compelling choice for developers looking to implement virtualization across different platforms.
