OpenVDDK – Independent Virtual Disk Library
Summary
OpenVDDK is an independent, open source drop-in replacement for VMware's VDDK library, designed for read-only disk access via HotAdd and NBD/NBDSSL transports. It aims for API compatibility, claims telemetry-free operation, and includes benchmarks comparing performance with VMware's library, plus validation with V2K Migrate and a roadmap toward 0.7.5.
