SupraVM promotes the concept of Contianerized VM to combine the lightweight, portable nature of containers with the strong isolation and full virtualization capabilities of VMs.

Isolation and Security. Contianerized VM provides an additional layer of isolation between the host system and the VM, not only reducing the attack surface to the VM from the host system and network, but also limiting the potential impact of vulnerabilities in the VM to the host system. Specific management and control to the VM can also be enforced without making changes to the host system or network.

Deployment and Portability. With all dependencies and configurations encapsulated in a container, Contianerized VM requires minimal setup on the target system, can be easily deployed in the same way regardless of the underlying infrastructure, and is highly portable to run on various platforms once created. Meacwhile, taking advantage of the rich container echosystem, the process of deploying, managing, and scaling Contianerized VMs is much easier and can be automated with significantly reduced time and effort.

SupraVM takes advantages of the kvm device on host to runs a Containerized VM, loading disk images (.qcow2) files on the host as the system disk and data disks.
