The Redox operating system has made significant progress in virtualization, with the development of a Virtio-FS driver and the ability to run on Cloud Hypervisor. Funded by NGI Zero Commons and NLnet, the project aims to create a secure host for web services, leveraging Redox's memory-safe microkernel-based architecture to provide isolation and security for multi-tenant cloud servers. The Virtio-FS driver and kernel changes have been merged into the base repository, enabling Redox to boot to a shell on Cloud Hypervisor, with the ultimate goal of creating a deployable instance and putting the pieces together for a secure and scalable hosting solution.
