SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +====================== +GenieZone Introduction +====================== + +Overview +======== +GenieZone hypervisor (gzvm) is a type-1 hypervisor that supports various virtual +machine types and provides security features such as TEE-like scenarios and +secure boot.
