Xen has become the most powerful virtualization standard of the industry. For those who do not know it yet, it is a hypervisor developed by the University of Cambridge for the Linux kernel, both for paravirtualization and for full virtualization of operating systems. Well, the project does not stop in its development and improvement, and its integration in Linux is not slowed either, in fact the kernel developers work on this technology in a very active way.
And it seems that the next functionalities and updates that will be introduced in the Linux kernel 4.13which will not take long to arrive, they could make Xen work much better and gain performance, something that is appreciated, since one of the main problems of virtualization is performance compared to a non-virtualized system. In addition to the performance improvements and new functionalities supported for Xen in Linux 4.13, the future release is sure to include many more new features that we will be announcing.
Just a few days ago we announced in LxA news about Linux 4.12, one of the largest kernels to date according to Linus Torvalds, it seems that the latter is very inflated by the amount of added driver code. We'll see what his successor looks like, but of course we're already getting some nice details like this about Xen. If you want to know more details about the new features and news about Xen for Linux 4.13, you can consult the famous free kernel mailing lists LKML. I leave you the direct link to the topic of Xen ...
At the moment nothing more to add in this regard, we will be attentive to the Release Candidates and all the news regarding the Linux kernel launches and we will inform you of the news. Meanwhile, to wait for Linux 4.13 and the arrival of Linux 5.0, which should not take too long to change the numbering ...
