Fedora 7 Xen First Look
Having spent a few days with Fedora 7, I have found that, while still a bit buggy, the updated Xen tools show some real promise.
The Good
The new version of virt-manager shows the direction that the Fedora team (and consequently Red Hat) is taking with it’s GUI virtualization management tool, and it looks very promising. One of the most interesting things about it is its ability to manage multiple virtualization technologies. On first load, it asks what virtualization backend you want to attach to - Xen or QEMU. For those who don’t know, QEMU is an open source machine emulator for running fully virtualized operating systems, and is what Xen’s code for fully virtualized guest OSes is based on. I imagine it will also manage KVM, although I didn’t install and test it (or the QEMU management, for that matter.) That said, I found it encouraging to see the evolution of libvirt, the underlying abstraction layer that allows a single tool to manage multiple virtual machine mechanisms.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
