smolbsd enables the rapid creation and management of microVMs by abstracting the configuration of QEMU, Firecracker, and Bhyve hypervisors. It allows users to define and deploy minimal NetBSD instances tailored for specific compute workloads, ensuring efficient resource utilization and rapid boot times within virtualized environments.

System administrators, infrastructure engineers, and virtualization specialists working within NetBSD environments benefit from smolbsd. It is designed for those requiring granular control over hypervisor parameters and those seeking to optimize the deployment of lightweight, isolated compute instances across diverse hardware platforms.

To utilize smolbsd, you must have a functional NetBSD host environment installed. Additionally, the system requires pre-installed hypervisor binaries for QEMU, Firecracker, or Bhyve, along with the necessary kernel support for virtualization extensions to ensure the successful execution and isolation of the microVM instances.
