Project EVE (Edge Virtualization Engine) aims to develop an open, agnostic and standardized architecture unifying the approach to developing and orchestrating cloud-native applications across the enterprise on-premises edge. She offers users new levels of control through virtualization of on-prem edge devices. Since EVE is specifically designed to run on edge equipment outside the datacenter, she is architected to securely isolate functions in the virtualization layer to prevent a single functional block from compromising the entire system. is an open source project under the LF Edge Foundation that collaboratively develops EVE, the Edge Virtualization Engine.
Project EVE seeks user feedback to help further improve the usability of EVE. We are also seeking new contributors to help expand the number of supported hardware platforms and add new features to EVEOnce installed, EVE creates a secure separation between the hardware and the workloads (edge containers, VMs, etc.) via Type-1 hypervisor with a Unikernel manager that has direct access to and control over underlying hardware resources. EVE then defines standard APIs that allow assignment of resources to workloads and more efficient use of resources effectively partitioning hardware to increase workload consolidation and application multi-tenancy.
