Stability is Paramount Value of IT: consistent service availability Service capacity specified a year or more in advance What’s up, stays up Change is Bad Change to status quo is disruptive and dangerous
5
Availability of Services is Paramount Value of IT: consistent service availability matching dynamic business demand Service capacity must move with business needs What’s up when depends on what’s needed when Change is Good Services must change to cover the needs of the moment Lack of change = lack of value

It must be stable It must be secure It must be configurable on a large scale It must take orchestration It must be multi-tenant

It must be stable It must be secure It must be configurable on a large scale It must take orchestration It must be multi-tenant AWS, Rackspace Public Cloud, Terremark, many others … Tons of features: see tinyurl.com/xen-secure Puppet, Chef, Salt, … − GUIs − APIs − Orchestration Apache CloudStack, OpenNebula, OpenStack, … Pools and other functionality in XAPI

Not on Feature and Quality parity yet Significant progress in Havanah / 13.2 Xen and XAPI not perceived to be Open Source This is now different Citrix backing of Apache CloudStack Created “confusion” in the marketplace Created resentment by OpenStack developers

Source: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix Group A (Fully Supported) Most Features Group A (Fully Supported) Most Features KVM/QEMU + LIBVIRT Group B (Gate Tested) Missing: Volume Swap Volume Rate Limiting XEN + XAPI Group C (Minimal Testing) Missing: See table Group C (Minimal Testing) Missing: See table All the others Xen + LIBVIRT TBD Significant Investment

Havanah 2013.2: OpenStack support for xenserver-core More Tests; Improved Quality (moving towards Group A) Icehouse 2014.1 Feature catch-up (not in one go) ARM support for xenserver-core Expanding VGPU Functionality Desktop and Enterprise Features
34
Impact: OpenStack can also run in Dom0 Closer to OpenStack Usage Model Closer to OpenStack Development Model More Deployment Options (Security)

Xen is a great solution for the Cloud Significant Investment in XAPI + OpenStack As well as CloudStack The Xen Community is accelerating
