The list of things to keep in mind when migrating from paravirtualized Xen to fully virtualized KVM might be very close to the list of things to consider when migrating from VMware ESI to Microsoft Hyper-V or when migrating from cloud A to cloud B (assuming one tries to move VMs instead of just redeploying everything). In all of these situations it's about running Linux on whatever platform is chosen, it's not about knowing configuration knobs of VirtualBox. Fabian
