The hypervisor in Azure, Xbox and Windows are all the same: HyperV.
- spaintech 3y agoHey Torrent, can you provide a reliable source for that info? Recently, I’ve noticed a surge in Domain Specific VMs even in userland for Linux (like Google Falcon). This has led me to wonder if a boot loader combined with a bytecode VM could optimize performance in not only games but also various applications. I tried checking an Xbox game binary for traces of a VM. Given the potential for encryption obfuscation, I assumed the binaries might be encrypted and didn’t dig deeper. I’m not familiar with the gaming or pirating scenes, so this is all novel to me. But I’m keen on exploring this idea further. What can HyperV bring to the table in this context?
- Sylamore 3y agoDave explicitly said in the video that the Xbox hypervisor is based on Red Dog, which is not HyperV based, which was also the hypervisor used in early iterations of Azure, but that currently Azure runs on a variant of HyperV.
