Going to FOSDEM’14? Well, you want to check out the schedule of the Virtualization & IaaS devroom then, and make sure you do not miss the talks about Xen. There are 4 of them, and they will provide some details about new and interesting usecases for virtualization, like in embedded systems of various kind (from phones and tablets to network middleboxes), and about new features in the upcoming Xen release, such as PVH, and how to use them with profit.
Here they are the talks, in some more details:
– Dual-Android on Nexus 10 using XEN, on Saturday morning
– High Performance Network Function Virtualization with ClickOS, on Saturday afternoon
– Virtualization in Android based and embedded systems, on Sunday morning
– How we ported FreeBSD to PVH, on Sunday afternoon
There actually is more: one called Porting FreeBSD on Xen on ARM, in the BSD devroom, and one about MirageOS one in the miscellaneous Main track, but the schedule for them has not been announced yet.
Last but certainly not least, there will be a Xen-Project booth, where you can meet the members of the Xen community as well as enjoying some other, soon to be revealed, activities. I and some of my colleagues from Citrix will be in Brussels, and will definitely spend some time at the booth, so come and visit us. The booth will be in building K, on level 1.
