This is an experimental OCI Runtime that enables Podman, Docker, and Kubernetes to run Virtual Machine (VM) images. The objective is to make running VMs (in simple configurations) as easy as running containers, using standard container tooling and without the need for in-depth knowledge on virtualization technologies like libvirt or KubeVirt.

• Use it with Podman, Docker, or Kubernetes.
• Launch VMs from VM image files present on the host or packaged into container images.
• Control VM CPU and memory allocation.
• Provide cloud-init and Ignition configurations to VMs.
• Mount directories into VMs.
• Pass block devices through to VMs.
• Expose qcow2 files and other disk images to VMs as block devices.
• Pass vfio-pci and mediated vfio-pci devices through to VMs.
• Forward ports from the host to VMs.
• podman exec/docker exec/kubectl exec into VMs.
