[opensuse] KVM-Xen - a new breakthrough in Linux virtualization
Hi All ! On the internet, I came across a *very* interesting document, that describes KVM-Xen, a new breakthrough technology, that leverages KVM to allow running XenoLinux guests, without Xen hyperviser and without VT hardware ! A new KVM-Xen backend does all the job in a Linux-friendly way ! KVM-Xen: (21.07.2007) https://ols2006.108.redhat.com/2007/Reprints/harper-Reprint.pdf Have an interesting reading ! ================================================== P.S: Unfortunately, that document contained zero data about the project's homepage. Googling returned a whole range of irrelevant results. Who is responsible for KVM-Xen development ? RedHat or IBM ? Where can I get more data about this project ? I believe this technology could be useful for openSUSE. -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Alexey, Just curious. Why do you see this as an advantage over using the Xen hypervisor? Not arguing, I'm just not seeing why it is a big deal.

1. Stability. Xen kernels are unstable, and they tend to crash-on-boot on some hardware. However after it boots, it works pretty stable. 2. Management I don't like Xen management tools, I dislike the way I control the VMs and the RAM. KVM/VMware/VirtualBox/Qemu are much more natural in terms of guest control. It's a pain controlling Xen. -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks FYI: I did a little googling. I did not find much but it looks like Ryan Harper of IBM is a main player. http://hg.codemonkey.ws/kvm-xen/shortlog Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
