[Roadmap] Runtime Isolation. QEMU, Hyper-V, and Windows Sandbox

[gnh1201]

Summary

Some runtimes, such as legacy systems, experimental projects, or those with potential security vulnerabilities, need to be executed in isolated environments. Full virtualization and paravirtualization technologies play a crucial role in this. Examples of full virtualization include QEMU and Hyper-V, while Windows Sandbox serves as an example of paravirtualization. This issue will cover the necessity of runtime isolation, the characteristics of each technology, and potential use cases.

I have had frequent experiences with the Windows 10 + QEMU + (Linux/OpenWRT or Windows/2008) stack before. This allows for the creation of an immediate virtualized environment without adding features to the Windows system.

Especially when using public computers, there is no opportunity to add features like Hyper-V, WSL, or Windows Sandbox, so it would be great if WelsonJS could support this.
