Some runtimes, such as legacy systems, experimental projects, or those with potential security vulnerabilities, need to be executed in isolated environments. Full virtualization and paravirtualization technologies play a crucial role in this. Examples of full virtualization include QEMU and Hyper-V, while Windows Sandbox serves as an example of paravirtualization. This issue will cover the necessity of runtime isolation, the characteristics of each technology, and potential use cases.
