Xen: This Is Not Your Dad's Hypervisor!
summary
CA AppLogic (born from ThreeTera) chooses Xen as its core hypervisor, builds a cloud fabric that predates Amazon, and mostly uses Xen’s native hypervisor rather than full XenServer stacks; engineers submit only five patches historically, uncover a 1025th failed VM boundary while stress testing, run a customer grid of five servers for 1474 days, migrate guests to pv_ops on Linux 3.x, deploy Xen under OpenStack and Ceph, and explore Xen on ARM, stub domains and micro-VMs for higher density.
