2 weeks ago, ETH Zürich revealed VMScape, a new CPU side-channel attack. KVM and VMware are affected, Xen isn’t. Not because Xen is flawless, but because its microkernel-like design puts security first. virtualize.sh/blog/vmscape...

Just after XCP-ng 8.3 became LTS, we kicked off the journey to 9.0. Things are getting real: we're moving from early exploration to a first concrete target. XO 6.0 as the default UI + XCP-ng 9.0 pre-pre-pre-alpha in 2025? Maybe 👀 Stay tuned!

I thought it was time to share some perspective on what it takes to build a full virtualization stack. We’ve learned a lot over the years, often the hard way. Using a platform is one thing. Building and maintaining it is something else entirely. virtualize.sh/blog/few-bui...
virtualize.sh
Few build Hypervisors. We’re one of them.
Everyone uses virtualization. Few truly understand what they’re building on. That’s why calling hypervisors a commodity is a dangerous illusion.
