I noticed that RedHat released their 5.4 update and it includes a lot of new features.
h-online: RedHat Enterprise 5.4
Info.Week: Redhat virt
They seem to be really going to KVM instead of Xen, and now I'm starting to wonder if that is the right move. The more I use VirtualBox and KVM, the more I want to stop using legacy OSs like Windows. The main reason for VirtualBox, VMware and KVM, at the moment, is to do full hardware virtualisation. But we don't want to run and use Windows forever, the future is GNU/Linux.
Redhat already has a great solution for para-virtualisation, where you can easily runs hundreds of VMs with little slow down, and it's called Xen.
So just when I start to think that the days of VirtualBox, VMware and KVM are limited, it seems that others are saying that they are the future. Why? Do the believe that we'll be needing those legacy OS's forever? I'd rather be able to run a few Linux distributions at once without needed full HW-virt.
Just a thought.
