As I continue to learn more about Xen, I find it interesting to read old documents that show the transformation of Xen from a research project at Cambridge University to the current leading open source hypervisor technology. A great link form Cambridge University is available with a collection of documents and presentations. I would like to highlight two documents that I found worth reading:
- Xen and the Art of Virtualization describes the architecture of Xen 1.x. Published at SOSP 2003
- Xen and the Art of Repeated Research is an independent paper verifying our SOSP results (written by a group at Clarkson University),. Published at FREENIX 2004
