That’s when I first ran across the idea of the Persistent Uniform Resource Locator or PURL. I noticed that some of the URLs were starting to all have the same hostname purl.fdlp.gov. PURLs were created by Stuart Weibel and Erik Jul at OCLC in 1995, and were picked up by the GPO in 1997 as a way to mitigate broken URLs. The FDLP and GPO are still using PURLs today.

Google has a shopping list of standardized components to power the system. There's Google's [GKI (generic kernel image)](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/android-to-take-an-upstream-first-development-model-for-the-linux-kernel/), a minimally forked version of Linux for Android, which hopes to provide one kernel to rule them all instead of the triple-forked, device-specific kernels that phones typically ship with. With a standardized Linux kernel comes Linux's KVM (kernel-based virtual machine), which allows the Linux kernel to function as a hypervisor. Google is also adding Chrome OS's "crosvm" virtual machine manager and a headless, stripped-down version of Android, called "Microdroid," to run into the VM. Google calls this big bundle of components the "Android Virtualization Framework."
