From Ian Pratt’s presentation at Xen Summit;  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….

  1. Security is becoming increasingly important
  2. Community must work to leverage academic research projects into fully developed features in Xen
