[CentOS] followup to request for centos C/W
just to follow on my earlier post, i have pointers to a couple commercial C/W manuals for RHEL administration, but both of them use an entire chapter discussing virtualization using Xen. i'm under the impression that RH is firmly in the KVM camp (at least for now), and that learning Xen on red hat/centos wouldn't be as useful as learning KVM. thoughts? rday -- Robert P.

Since RH is moving to KVM, it is better to learn KVM if you have a choice.

Re: [CentOS] followup to request for centos C/W
I can confirm, after my last discussion with Redhat, is it better to learn KVM. Xen is going to die on redhat and centos in some years.

Re: [CentOS] followup to request for centos C/W
Just curious - any idea how much longer we can expect Xen support? I don't have the hardware requirements at home to support KVM - so I'd love for Xen to stick around forever ;) On Wed, 20 Jan 2010, fabien faye wrote: I can confirm, after my last discussion with Redhat, is it better to learn KVM.

I don't have the hardware requirements at home to support KVM I thought they run on the same hardware. What do you feel would not support KVM?

Re: [CentOS] followup to request for centos C/W
Sorry - misleading... What I mean is, my hardware does not support native virtualization.

Re: [CentOS] followup to request for centos C/W
Like i have understood, xen could be also present and support on RHEL6 and in this case, it could be supported until the cycle of RHEL 6. But is it preferable to migrate all your xen to kvm in a near furtur. Kvm is a REDHAT project and REDHAT want to put all ressources to improve and develop KVM instead of xen.

It's extremely unlikely that RHEL 6 is going to ship with the Xen hypervisor, only support to be run as domU (this is a speculation of mine).
