Servers/Hardware. Operating Systems/Applications. Although it’s not feature-complete (by a long shot), VMware recently open-sourced version 0.1 via VMware Photon OS TP2. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? This one isn’t quite virtualization, but isn’t quite hardware either, so we’ll throw it in here.
