Is Blink a replacement for VMMs like Firecracker and Cloud Hypervisor?
- wyldfire 3y agoI don't think so. By all accounts this seems to be doing true emulation like QEMU TCG does. IIRC firecracker is more of a hypervisor?
- kitd 3y agoNo, it's a Type 2 emulator, so more like Qemu or VirtualBox.
- MrLeap 3y agoI'm not familiar with this way to classify emulators. What's this mean / refer to?
- mkl 3y agoIt seems to be more about hypervisors. "KVM is a type 1 hypervisor, which essentially means it is able to run on bare metal. QEMU is a type 2 hypervisor, which means that it runs on top of the operating system." -- https://linuxconfig.org/qemu-vs-kvm-hypervisor-whats-the-difference https://linuxconfig.org/qemu-vs-kvm-hypervisor-whats-the-dif...
- zxspectrum1982 3y agoAFAIK Actually Portable Executables produced by Cosmopolitan run on bare metal too so that would make Blink a type 1 hypervisor.
