  • Introduced section dividers (---), clear headings, and summary tables for features, technologies, and use cases.

Expanded and Reorganized Content

  • Rewrote and expanded the overview, key features, and architecture sections, including new tables and detailed descriptions for each component and technology.
  • Added new sections for security model, advantages, use cases, requirements, and documentation, each with detailed tables and explanations. [1] [2] [3]

Diagrams and Visual Aids

  • Included Mermaid diagrams to illustrate the tenant lifecycle, boot process, and multi-layer isolation, making complex workflows easier to understand. [1] [2]

Repository and Template Details

  • Enhanced documentation of system, tenant, and template repository structures with bash-style directory trees and comprehensive tables describing each template and its use case. [1] [2]

Improved Guidance and Documentation

Incorrect file path for systemd-networkd configuration files. Network files should be placed in /etc/systemd/network/ or /usr/lib/systemd/network/, not /usr/lib/systemd/system/. The correct path should be /usr/lib/systemd/network/30-vxlan-tenant.network.

BitBuilder Hypervisor implements a declarative, immutable infrastructure paradigm through git-ops methodology, providing secure multi-tenant virtualization environments via comprehensive systemd subsystem orchestration. The architecture implements tenant isolation through cryptographically-secured namespace boundaries, leveraging systemd's advanced service management, portable service architectures, and extension image composition patterns.

[nitpick] Inconsistent hyphenation in compound modifier. "Git-Ops" is hyphenated in the title but the standard form used elsewhere in the codebase and industry is "GitOps" (one word, no hyphen). Consider using "GitOps" for consistency with modern conventions.

[nitpick] Inconsistent markdown formatting for code blocks. The bash code block at line 146 uses triple backticks with bash language identifier, but earlier code blocks in the file use just triple backticks without language identifiers (e.g., lines 63-100, 134-162). Consider applying consistent language identifiers throughout for better syntax highlighting.
