microvm

🧱 easy, fast, programmable and local-first microVM runtime

An embeddable, portable, branchable virtual machine to safely run Agents locally.

Run AI agents on real and isolated machines — own kernel, filesystem, and network — with <100ms boot. Local first, OCI compatible, pure Rust.

NixOS MicroVMs

Fork() for AI agent microVMs. Spawn 100 children in ~100ms from a warm parent; BRANCH a live VM in ~150ms. KVM-isolated, snapshot CoW.

The runtime behind every E2B stack: Cloud, Enterprise, and your own machine.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking MicroVMs. Create and manage the lifecycle of MicroVMs backed by containerd.

A multi-sandbox container runtime that provides cloud-native, all-scenario multiple sandbox container solutions.

Dynamically provision Stateful Persistent Replicated Cluster-wide Fabric Volumes & Filesystems for Kubernetes that is provisioned from an optimized NVME SPDK backend data storage stack.

Give coding agents a disposable Linux VM, not your laptop

Isolated VM environment for running Claude Code and Codex

smolBSD is a tiny BSD UNIX (NetBSD) system creation tool, primarily aimed at building modern, lightweight, fast micro VMs

An agent-native red-teaming workspace with a fast browser, direct HTTP traffic control, sandboxed execution, and auditable sessions. Pure Rust.

Firecracker-like microVMs for Proxmox VE — KVM isolation, under 200 ms boot.

vHive: Open-source framework for serverless experimentation

On-demand Linux computers you can hand to an AI — real Firecracker microVMs with a browser, terminal, coding agents, and an AI that drives them.

Self hosted cloud coding agent with k3s + kata containers + cloud hypervisor microVMs + tailscale + any harness + a nice iOS app

NixOS Hyperconverged Infrastructure on Nomad/NixOS

Lightweight MicroVM engine built on Cloud Hypervisor. Features include OCI and cloud image support, instant snapshot and clone via reflink, Windows 11 guest support, CNI networking with TC redirect, memory balloon, hugepages, and a Docker-like CLI. Designed for AI sandboxing, cloud desktops, and ephemeral dev environments.
