Virtualization support for the Yocto Project

The meta-virtualization layer tries to create a long and medium term production-ready layer specifically for an embedded virtualization. This roles that this has are:

Simplifying the way collaborative benchmarking and researching is done with tools, such as KVM/LxC virtualization, combined with advance core isolation and other techniques
Integrating and contributing with projects, such as OpenFlow, OpenvSwitch, LxC, dmtcp, CRIU and others, which can be used with other components, such as OpenStack or Carrier Graded Linux.

To summarize this in one sentence, this layer tries to provide support while constructing OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project-based virtualized solutions.

The packages that are available in this layer, which I will briefly talk about are as follows:

CRIU
Docker
LXC
Irqbalance
Libvirt
Xen
Open vSwitch

This layer can be used in conjunction with the meta-cloud-services layer that offer cloud agents and API support for various cloud...
