xen

The Xen Project Hypervisor is a virtualisation technology defined as a type-1 hypervisor, which allows multiple virtual machines, known as domains, to run concurrently with the host on the physical machine. On a typical type-2 hypervisor, the virtual machines run as applications on top of the host. NixOS runs as the privileged Domain 0, and can paravirtualise or fully virtualise Unprivileged Domains.

Use with the qemu_xen package.
