WHPX does not require admin in my testing, but it does require Windows Pro and several virtualization features to be enabled. It's not too bad but still not ideal.
Currently I'm not banking on it though and focusing my testing assuming full emulation on older hardware.

EDIT: Also, Firecracker seems to have more steam behind it than crosvm. I really wish it ran on Windows. That said, QEMU does have a microvm mode[0] that looks very interesting.

- mwcampbell 5y agoTo clarify, are you interested in shipping server or desktop applications as VMs?
- anderspitman 5y agoInitially server apps. My overall goal is to lower the barrier of entry for self-hosting. The idea is you download an app like Nextcloud which would run inside an unprivileged QEMU VM, go through a quick OAuth flow to connect it to a tunneling service, and you have a secure, private, end-to-end encrypted private cloud without ever having to understand TLS, HTTPS, NAT, IP addresses, ports, CLI, etc.

- anderspitman 5y agoHonestly not sure what you mean.
