Oxide releases full-rack simulation stack Voxel
What happened
On October 15, the Hacker News front page reported that Oxide released Virtual Oxide Labs (Voxel), which can simulate a complete Oxide rack on a single piece of hardware. The full software simulation stack is based on illumos and built in Rust, virtualizes sleds through Propolis, simulates the P4 switch with SoftNPU, and emulates the SP and RoT microcontrollers. The report notes that Voxel can simulate these rack components without modifying Oxide's production software.
