Virtualization In Linux Kernel 2.6.20

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday January 9, 2007 @06:45PM from the performance-numbers dept.

mcalwell writes with an article about the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (or KVM for short) in the release candidate Linux 2.6.20 kernel. From the article: "[T]he Linux 2.6.20 kernel will include a full virtualization (not para-virtualization) solution. [KVM] is a GPL software project that has been developed and sponsored by Qumranet. In this article we are offering a brief overview of the KVM for Linux as well as offering up in-house performance numbers as we compare KVM to other virtualization solutions such as QEMU Accelerator and Xen."

That information is outdated really. The main developers decided that we wouldn't have a development kernel anymore, and would instead just develop in the stable tree. Genius! Now we have all the benefits of an unstable API / ABI combined with the benefits of flaky support... Go team!
