Yes, but this question is three years old and hypervisors have changed ....
Thanks.
what's changed?
Layering? Nope.
Crappy programming? Nope.
Better hardware? not really.
Features-before-security? Nope.
Lots new features, though.
And they fixed a few bugs AFTER they were brought to the vendor's
attention. Reactive at its best. You think they FIXED more bugs than
they added with the new features?
I think the virtualization products have proven their attitude towards
security and correctness. If something changed, it is theirs to
prove...and then, you still have the complexity issue. A more complex
system is unlikely to be more secure or more reliable than a simple system.
