Overview
Discover how to accelerate kernel development using virtme-ng in this informative mentorship session led by Andrea Righi, Principal Software Engineer at NVIDIA. Learn about the challenges of kernel testing and debugging, and explore how virtme-ng provides a standardized solution to expedite the edit/compile/test cycle. Understand how this tool leverages QEMU/KVM, virtiofs, and overlayfs to create a virtualized copy-on-write live snapshot of your current system, allowing for rapid kernel testing in a secure sandbox environment. Through practical examples and common kernel development scenarios, gain insights into using virtme-ng effectively to streamline your workflow and achieve performance close to native execution without dedicated testing systems. Enhance your kernel development skills and boost productivity with this valuable session on speeding up kernel development processes.
