Description

Develop virtualization solutions utilizing a minimalistic hypervisor that operates without the need for any external kernel extensions. The hypervisor offers C APIs, allowing for interaction with virtualization technologies directly in user space, eliminating the necessity of writing kernel extensions (KEXTs). Consequently, the applications designed with this framework can be distributed through the Mac App Store. Leverage this framework to create and manage hardware-accelerated virtual machines and virtual processors (VMs and vCPUs) from your authorized, sandboxed user-space application. The Hypervisor simplifies the concept of virtual machines as processes and treats virtual processors as threads. It is important to note that the Hypervisor framework relies on hardware capabilities to virtualize resources efficiently. For Apple silicon, this entails support for the Virtualization Extensions, while for Intel-based Macs, it necessitates systems equipped with an Intel VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. This ensures the framework is optimized for performance and security across various hardware configurations.

Description

Clastix offers kMetal, a Kubernetes platform that operates directly on physical servers without the need for a hypervisor layer. It utilizes kernel-based KVM for native virtualization, manages software-defined networking for tenants, and constructs immutable operating systems for nodes, all of which are represented as Kubernetes resources. This platform empowers teams to create self-service Kubernetes clusters on their own hardware, ensuring that each tenant enjoys a dedicated control plane, an isolated network, and strict resource quotas. kMetal is built using well-established open-source cloud-native technologies, avoiding proprietary modifications, and guarantees that the clusters it provisions conform to CNCF standards of upstream Kubernetes. Furthermore, this solution streamlines the deployment process while providing robust isolation and security for each tenant's environment.
