Posted December 10, 2020 by Cloud Hypervisor Team ‐ 1 min read
This release has been tracked through the 0.12.0 project.
Highlights for cloud-hypervisor version 0.12.0 include:
ARM64 enhancements
The use of --watchdog is now fully supported as is the ability to reboot the
VM from within the guest when running Cloud Hypervisor on an ARM64 system.
Removal of vhost-user-net and vhost-user-block self spawning
In order to use vhost-user-net or vhost-user-block backends the user is now
responsible for starting the backend and providing the socket for the VMM to
use. This functionality was deprecated in the last release and how now been
removed.
Migration of vhost-user-fs backend
The vhost-user-fs backend is no longer included in Cloud Hypervisor and it is
instead hosted in it’s own
repository
Enhanced “info” API
The vm.info HTTP API endpoint has been extended to include the details of the
devices used by the VM including any VFIO devices used.
