*[https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker Firecracker] - is an open source virtualization technology that is purpose-built for creating and managing secure, multi-tenant container and function-based services that provide serverless operational models.
*[https://www.vmware.com/ VMware] - is a virtualization and cloud computing software provider based in Palo Alto, Calif.


*[https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/cloud-computing/openshift/virtualization Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization] - Red Hat® OpenShift® Virtualization, a feature of Red Hat OpenShift, allows IT teams to run virtual machines alongside containers on the same platform, simplifying management and improving time to production.  
*[https://www.virtualbox.org/ Oracle VM VirtualBox] - is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3.


*[https://xenproject.org/ Xen Project] - The Xen Project focuses on revolutionizing virtualization by providing a versatile and powerful hypervisor that addresses the evolving needs of diverse industries.
*[https://linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine)] - is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko.


*[https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie Sandboxie] - is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying local & mapped drives or the Windows registry.
*[https://www.qemu.org/ QEMU] - A generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.


*[https://github.com/kpcyrd/boxxy-rs boxxy-rs] - is a linkable sandbox explorer. "If you implement boundaries and nobody is around to push them, do they even exist?". Have you ever wondered how your sandbox looks like from the inside? Tempted to test if you can escape it, if only you had a shell to give it a try?
*[https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-virtual-environment/overview Proxmox] - is a complete, open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. It tightly integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC), software-defined storage and networking functionality, on a single platform.
