Project Orko: Empowering SOAFEE with VirtIO Magic

Introduction

Project Orko is enabling Virtualisation and VirtIO for the Trusted Reference Strack (TRS) and SOAFEE workloads. It builds on the pathfinding work of https://linaro.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/STR and will reuse components from that project as well as develop additional backends. The broad aims are to:

• Expand rust-vmm’s support for Xen (and other hypervisors)

• Launch VM’s with VirtIO backend

• De-privilage VirtIO backends as much as possible

• Run SOAFFE container workloads isolated in those VMs

The following presentation gives an overview of the architecture and the initial aims of the project.
