About

I got tired of libvirt XML and Vagrant&#x27;s Ruby&#x2F;reload dance for single-host VM stacks, so I built a compose-style runtime directly on QEMU&#x2F;KVM.<p>What&#x27;s there: GPU passthrough as a first-class primitive (VFIO, OVMF, per-instance EFI vars), healthchecks that gate depends_on over SSH, socket-multicast L2 between VMs with no root and no bridge config, cloud-init wired through the YAML, Dockerfile support for provisioning.<p>What it&#x27;s not: Kubernetes. No clustering, no live migration, no control plane. Single host. Prototype, but I&#x27;m running it on real hardware. Curious what breaks for people.

AI Score Reasoning

Holos is a technically sharp utility solving a specific developer pain point in VM management, but it currently lacks the market scale and commercial roadmap expected of a venture-backed startup. While the GPU passthrough and YAML-first approach are excellent for local dev workflows, the 'single-host' limitation significantly caps its enterprise value.
