Interesting. I remember playing with VT-x using Intel's HAXM framework [0] that installs its own Windows driver with a much nicer user-facing API, basically does what the chapters 2, 3 and 4 of the tutorial end up implementing, so you can spin up an empty, ready to go VM already in the 64-bit mode quite easily.

Is there a similar tutorial/book/course that one can follow on Linux?

The author claims that the concepts are platform-independent and that they give examples for Linux when needed. I don't know enough about the topic to know if that's sufficient.

Huh? That's to install Linux, not implement a hypervisor.

Ohhh. I thought the parent said “for Linux” but I see now it was “on Linux”.

Nice! I wonder how well it will work with IncludeOS [0]?

As a host or VM? It would not work as a host as TA uses Windows’ driver kit api. It’s written all for windows.

Nice work!

I'd be more impressed by "Hypervisor in Scratch" though ;)

Clicked to see if anyone had made this joke yet . . . oh, well.
