Thanks for the write-up, I like the integration in the Proxmox VE environment.

Given some similarities, I’d like to briefly mention `krun` here. Although it’s an OCI-compatible container runtime, it uses MicroVMs with a similar approach. Perhaps we can exchange ideas here? I recall that GPU passthrough is also a recurring topic there.

Krun is neat! I use it as podman backend. What I'm missing though is a good writeup on how to use it to sandbox as safely as possible. Already kind of difficult to know best with podman due to the sheer number of command line options and possible customizations.

I'm also a bit confused on how to use libkrun. It seems to be implemented in rust but provide a C API. Can it be used in rust projects?

Also, it made me curious if it would be possible to create a Linux distribution where every process runs in a microvm.
