1# crosvm - The ChromeOS Virtual Machine Monitor 2 3crosvm is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) based on Linux’s KVM hypervisor, with a focus on 4simplicity, security, and speed. crosvm is intended to run Linux guests, originally as a security 5boundary for running native applications on the ChromeOS platform. Compared to QEMU, crosvm doesn’t 6emulate architectures or real hardware, instead concentrating on paravirtualized devices, such as 7the virtio standard. 8 9crosvm is currently used to run Linux/Android guests on ChromeOS devices. 10 11- [Documentation](https://crosvm.dev/book/) 12- [Announcements](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/crosvm-announce) 13- [Developer Mailing List](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/crosvm-dev) 14- [#crosvm on matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#crosvm:matrix.org) 15- [Source code](https://chromium.googlesource.com/crosvm/crosvm/) 16 - [API doc](https://crosvm.dev/doc/crosvm/), useful for searching API. 17 - For contribution, see [the contributor guide](https://crosvm.dev/book/contributing/).
