Virtual machine to host communication channel

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory, to:
• receive an indication corresponding to an initiation of a virtual machine;
• in response to the initiation of the virtual machine, generate a virtual Universal Serial Bus (USB) device on a virtual USB hub executed by a host operating system (OS);
• transmit the virtual USB device to a guest OS of the virtual machine;
• intercept an instruction from the guest OS for the virtual USB device;
• and
• provide, from the guest OS via the virtual USB hub, the instruction to the host OS.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

• receive an instruction to create a communication channel between a guest operating system (OS) of a virtual machine and a host OS of a host system;
• in response to receiving the instruction to create the communication channel, transmit, to a virtual Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub executed by the host OS, a first request to create a virtual USB device on the virtual USB hub;
• provide the virtual USB device to the guest OS;
• identify, by the processing device, an operation to be performed by the guest OS on the virtual USB device;
• and
• provide, from the guest OS to the virtual USB hub of the host OS, a second request comprising the operation to be performed by the guest OS.
