Volt Platform

Comprehensive virtualization extending Voltainer into the future of computing.

No hypervisor. Native kernel isolation. Extreme density.

Vision

Volt Platform extends Voltainer's revolutionary container technology into full virtualization — addressing every computing need while maintaining security, efficiency, and elegance.

Workload	Image	Density	Boot Time
Servers	volt/server	50,000+	<200ms
Databases	volt/server-db	20,000+	<300ms
Development	volt/dev	10,000+	<400ms
Desktop VDI	volt/desktop-*	2,000+	<600ms
Edge/IoT	volt/edge	100,000+	<100ms
Kubernetes	volt/k8s-node	30,000+	<200ms

Quick Start

# Install
curl -fsSL https://get.voltvisor.io | sh

# Create a server VM
volt vm create my-server --image volt/server --memory 256M

# Start it
volt vm start my-server

# SSH in
volt vm ssh my-server

# Create a desktop VM with ODE
volt desktop create my-desktop --image volt/desktop-productivity

# Connect via browser
volt desktop connect my-desktop

Why No Hypervisor?

Hypervisors are attack surface, not protection:

• VMware ESXi: CVE-2024-37085 (RCE) — actively exploited
• Xen: XSA-* (multiple critical)
• QEMU/KVM: Escape vulnerabilities
• Hyper-V: CVE-2024-* (multiple)

Volt uses native Linux kernel isolation:

• Landlock — Filesystem access control
• Seccomp — Syscall filtering
• Cgroups v2 — Resource limits
• Namespaces — Process/network isolation
• SystemD — Lifecycle management

Battle-tested, open source, audited.

Kernel Profiles

Profile	Size	Boot	Use Case
kernel-server	30MB	<200ms	Headless servers
kernel-desktop	60MB	<400ms	Interactive + ODE
kernel-rt	50MB	<300ms	Real-time, video
kernel-minimal	15MB	<100ms	Edge, appliances
kernel-dev	80MB	<500ms	Debugging, eBPF

ODE Profiles (Remote Display)

Profile	Bandwidth	Latency	Use Case
terminal	500 Kbps	30ms	CLI, SSH replacement
office	2 Mbps	54ms	Productivity apps
creative	8 Mbps	40ms	Design, color-critical
video	25 Mbps	20ms	Video editing
gaming	30 Mbps	16ms	Games, 120fps

Voltainer Integration

Volt extends Voltainer — it doesn't replace it:

• Same TinyVol filesystem format
• Same cryptographic verification
• Same ArmoredLedger attestations
• Same SBOM/CVE policies
• ODE works for both containers and VMs
