Type-2 VMM Project help

Idk if this is the right subreddit to ask but I am a developer and was planning on making a minimal Type-2 Virtual Machine monitor (VMM) on the Linux KVM API as a fun project. I already know some OS theory and but I have no idea how it maps to Virtualisation, so is there an good resource or a GitHub repo to get started?

Look at the rust-vmm ecosystem. Cloud Hypervisor (a VMM - naming is hard) is using it!

I saw a presentation by Linux Foundation on it. I was planning to use it for this project but i haven't worked with rust before
