Xen Community:
As part of the Xen Summit being at USENIX Annual Technical
Conference this June in Boston,
we are having a 1 day Xen hypervisor training session on Sunday June 22. I am
looking for people interested in running or assisting in the Xen Training
Session. I have some responses already but would like to receive more to ensure
that the correct community representation is available for the training event.
Thanks.
The following text is being used for the Xen Training
description:
Title: Introduction to the Open Source Xen Hypervisor
Trainer(s): TBD
Who should attend: System administrators and architects who
are interested in deploying the open
source Xen hypervisor in a production environment. No prior
experience with Xen is required however
a basic knowledge of Linux is helpful.
The Xen hypervisor offers a powerful, efficient and secure
feature set for virtualization of x86,
x86_64, IA64, PowerPC and other CPU architectures, and has
been used to virtualize a wide range
of guest operating systems, including Windows®, Linux®,
Solaris® and various versions of the BSD
operating systems. It is widely regarded as a strategically
compelling alternative to proprietary
virtualization platforms and hypervisors for x86 and IA64
platforms.
Take back to work: How to build and deploy the Xen
hypervisor
Topics Include:
* Xen architecture overview
* Building a Xen hypervisor from Xen.org
* Installation and configuration
* Virtual machine creation and operation
* Best practices using Xen
