### [`rusty-hermit`](https://crates.io/crates/rusty-hermit)
40+
41+
RustyHermit is a unikernel targeting a scalable and predictable runtime for high-performance and cloud computing.
42+
This month, we integrate a [virtual i/o device driver](https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.1/csprd01/virtio-v1.1-csprd01.html), which based on memory mapped i/o and doesn't depend on PCI device specification.
43+
For instance, micro VMs like [Firecracker](https://firecracker-microvm.github.io) and Qemu's [microvm machine type](https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/system/i386/microvm.html) doesn't support the PCI specification to accelerate the boot time and to improve the performance.
44+
With this device driver, `rusty-hermit` is able to run on Qemu's microvm platform.
45+
We are working to support Firecracker in the near future.
