Cloud-hypervisor is faster and leaner than QEMU and has a +smaller surface to manage. The new engine implements the same `types.Machine` +interface so existing test suites and the matcher helpers work unchanged. + +## Background / constraints (verified) + +- **Boot:** cloud-hypervisor cannot boot El-Torito CD ISOs the way QEMU does + (`-drive media=cdrom`). It boots either a direct kernel (`--kernel`) or a + disk image via firmware (`--firmware`). We use **firmware + disk**. + CLI: `--firmware --disk path= path= ...`. +- **Networking:** cloud-hypervisor has **no native passt support**. Its + `--net socket=` is vhost-user, not passt's qemu-stream protocol. `--net` + accepts only `tap=`, `fd=[...]`, `ip=`, `mask=`, `mac=`. Rootless user-mode + networking is therefore done with **pasta** (passt's slirp4netns-mode twin): + pasta builds a netns + tap + host port-forward, and cloud-hypervisor runs + inside that netns on the tap. This preserves peg's `ssh 127.0.0.1:` + model exactly like QEMU's `-nic user,hostfwd`, so the SSH controller needs + no changes. +- **Control surface:** cloud-hypervisor exposes an `--api-socket` (analogous to + the qemu monitor) but has **no screendump** and **no CD-ROM** concept. + +## Scope decisions + +| Topic | Decision | +|-------|----------| +| Networking | **pasta** — resembles QEMU, preserves `127.0.0.1:` SSH, no controller change. Requires `pasta` on host/CI. | +| Boot | **firmware + disk**.
