 Keynote Address
Xen and the Art of Virtualization
Revisited
Ian Pratt, Senior Lecturer, University of Cambridge Computer
Laboratory, and Fellow, King's College Cambridge
 Listen
in MP3 format
View
the presentation slides
This is a talk in three parts. I'll give a
summary of the Xen story so
far, looking at how Xen made the transition from research project to
enterprise software and the many challenges along the way. Next, I'll
look at why virtualization is such a hot topic in IT and the failings
of common operating systems that have led to this. I'll then look at
how Xen has evolved since the 2004 SOSP paper, seeing how
paravirtualization and software/hardware co-design have helped reduce
the overhead of virtualization. In particular, I will look at network
interfaces to see how what was once a high-overhead device to
virtualize has been tamed.
