Jailhouse is a lightweight static partitioning hypervisor based on Linux, which is more concerned with isolation than virtualization. It’s able to run bare-metal applications or (adapted) operating systems besides Linux. This means Jailhouse doesn't emulate the resources you have, instead, it splits the hardware into isolated components. This project aims to add support for Jailhouse in the libvirt API to make it easier to use the Jailhouse hypervisor using the well-known libvirt API or through applications using libvirt like Openstack, Eucalyptus, etc.
