Crate Addition Request Apple Hypervisor Bindings #129

Open fabianpatras opened 2 years ago

fabianpatras commented 2 years ago

Crate Name: apple-hv-bindings

Very much open to suggestions

Short Description

There is this public repo: https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/hypervisor-framework maintained by @sameo and @mxpv that adds wrappers around the Apple Hypervisor API.

This crate provides primitives needed for creating and managing VMs and vCPUs for VMM running on macOS.

Why is this crate relevant to the rust-vmm project?

It would be a building block for creating vmms using Apple Hypervisor API in Rust.

@fabianpatras Could you elaborate on what would this crate provide on top of the hypervisor-framework one?

Or are you asking for simply moving it from the cloud-hypervisor org to the rust-vmm one?

fabianpatras commented 2 years ago

@sameo That is right, I'm only suggesting moving it from cloud-hypervisor org to the rust-vmm one. I just want to see your (cloud-hypervisor and rust-vmm people) opinions on this.

I intend to use it for my diploma project ("rust-based vmm for macos") and I thought that it will be a great fit in rust-vmm organisation similarly to kvm and mshv bindings.

I can see that cloud-hypervisor org already uses some crates from rust-vmm in its own repositories and I thought rust-vmm could really benefit from these Apple Hypervisor API Rust Bindings.
