alt Hacker NewsHow is this different from Xen? It's the same approach as Xen or Hyper-V where the hypervisor is its own component, then you boot into a virtualized Dom0 or Root Partition (in Xen and Hyper-V terminology respectively) that can manage the hypervisor underneath it.
This is different from KVM where your hypervisor runs in your Dom0/Root Partition.

This is a much lighter weight (~100k) alternative to Xen focused on baremetal TPM anchored remote attestation, formal verification, and trusted computing applications.
Anyone considering Xen should probably also consider Nova depending on requirements.
