From Ian Pratt’s presentation at Xen Summit;Â here are some highlights:
- Xen Embedded – small footprint Xen (see xenbits.xen.org/xenclient)
- Xen Client – Citrix code being placed in Xen-unstable
- Hosted Xen – Xen engine run as a kernel module to enable hosted (type-2) VMM; Windows and OSX in active development
- Xen Introspection Project – API to enable monitoring and control of VMs by a suitably privileged entity
Overall thoughts on community….
- Security is becoming increasingly important
- Community must work to leverage academic research projects into fully developed features in Xen
