About

The AWS Nitro System is the foundation for the latest generation of Amazon EC2 instances, enabling AWS to innovate faster, reduce costs for customers, and deliver enhanced security and new instance types. By reimagining virtualization infrastructure, AWS has offloaded functions such as CPU, storage, and networking virtualization to dedicated hardware and software, allowing nearly all server resources to be allocated to instances. This architecture comprises several key components: Nitro Cards, which offload and accelerate I/O for functions like VPC, EBS, and instance storage; the Nitro Security Chip, providing a minimized attack surface and prohibiting administrative access to eliminate human error and tampering; and the Nitro Hypervisor, a lightweight hypervisor that manages memory and CPU allocation, delivering performance nearly indistinguishable from bare metal. The Nitro System's modular design allows for rapid delivery of EC2 instance types.

About

Lguest allows you to run multiple copies of the same 32-bit kernel, simply modprobe lg, then run Documentation/lguest/lguest to create a new guest. I suggest you try this yourself, lguest is incredibly easy to get up and running. It's also quite useful: I can test-boot kernels with it in less than a second, or about 10x faster than basic qemu, and 100x faster than a real boot. And as it uses a pty as console, you can do things like pipe it through grep. lguest is all one big kernel patch, including the launcher. It's in 2.6.23-git13 and above. Lguest aims to isolate the guest so it cannot reach outside to the host (except for virtual devices supplied by the host of course), even if the guest is malicious. However, a malicious guest kernel can currently pin host memory (up to the amount of memory allowed to the guest). Most images are set up to create a console virtual consoles (/dev/tty0 etc), but the lguest console is /dev/hvc0.
