Near-Native Virtualization Solutions for Linux -- VMware vs. Parallels
,----[ Quote ]
| The miracle of near-native virtualization technologies has saved
| professionals countless hours of OS thrashing. Excluding 3D graphics, systems
| administrators can accomplish nearly any task requiring a multitude of
| platforms within the comfort of the Linux workstation.

Increasing Virtualization Insanity

| For sysadmin types this means: do what you have to do with Xen for now. But
| keep the investments small. For developers this means: don't let yourself be
| tied to a platform. Use an abstraction layer such as libvirt to bridge over
| the differences. For architects this means: don't looking to Xen for answers,
| base your new designs on KVM.

Interview: Avi Kivity
,----[ Quote ]
| Avi Kivity is the lead developer and maintainer of the Kernel-based
| Virtual Machine project, better known as kvm. The project was started
| in mid-2006, and has been part of the Linux kernel since the 2.6.20
| release in February of 2007. kvm is a full virtualization system for
| x86-based Linux hosts, allowing users to run isolated x86 guest
| operating systems in virtual machines.

Linux KVM Virtualization Performance
,----[ Quote ]
| The benefits of KVM are high performance, stable, no modifications
| of the guest operating system are necessary, and a great deal of
| other capabilities (e.g. using the Linux scheduler). Once the Linux
| 2.6.20 kernel is officially out the door we will proceed with a
| greater number of KVM benchmarks in various environments including
| looking at the hardware virtualization performance between AMD and
| Intel.
