Redox OS developer MJ Pooladkhay has merged a Virtio-FS driver into the main repository and successfully booted Redox as a guest on Cloud Hypervisor without legacy PC hardware dependencies. The work is funded by NGI Zero Commons and NLnet grants, with plans to explore running Redox as a virtualization host in addition to its current guest role.
Background
Redox OS is an experimental microkernel-based operating system written in Rust, designed with memory safety and capability-based security as core principles.
