·         Blktap2

o   Support VHD format

o   Snapshot virtual disks

o   Command-line invocation method

·         High Availability (Project Remus & Kemari)

o   Up to date replica of a VM on backup server

·         Netchannel2

o   Lazy copy in guest

o   Support multi-queue NIC, Smart NIC, SR-IOV

·         Page Sharing

o   VMs share identical pages in memory

·         Libxenlight

o   High level operations shared across all Xen toolstacks

·         Support for Virtualization-aware Applications

·         Transcendent Memory – RAM utilization capabilities

·         Multi-function PCI pass-through

 

Please let me know if I missed a feature or if I need to make any changes to this list. Thanks.
