Virtualization
In this section, we cover discussion of Fedora virtualization technologies on the @fedora-virt, @fedora-xen-list, @libguestfs, @libvirt-list, @virt-tools-list, and @ovirt-devel-list lists.
Contributing Writer: Dale Bewley
Interviews
Mel Chua recently interviewed[1] Fedora virtualization luminaries Richard Jones, David Lutterkort, and Mark McLoughlin. Topics included:
- Richard Jones on guestfish and friends (libguestds and libvirt)
- Mark McLoughlin on virtual upgrades to your virtual machine
- David Lutterkort on "Network scripts: complex no more!"
- How to try out virtualization
- From etherboot to gPXE
- qcow2: now with better performance!
- Virtualization in Fedora: a historical retrospective
- What's Next? Virtualization in F13 and beyond
- When they're not hacking...
Fedora Virtualization List
This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-virt list.
Fedora Virtualization Status Report
The latest virt status report[1] from Mark McLoughlin details the status of the latest virtualization related bugs, and relayes behind the scenes drama of "a couple of fire-drills with last-minute serious blocker bugs" as Fedora 12 was about to go out the door.
Rawvirt Rawhide Virtualization for Fedora 12
Justin Forbes announced[1] "As was done for Fedora 11 users, the tradition continues, only the locations have changed.
We've set up a repository for people running Fedora 12 who would like to test the rawhide/F13 virt packages. To use it, do e.g."
$> cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-virt-preview.repo << EOF [rawvirt] name=Virtualization Rawhide for Fedora 12 baseurl=http://jforbes.fedorapeople.org/virt-preview/f12/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 EOF $> yum update
The Virtualization Preview Repository[2] is for people who would like to test the very latest virtualization related packages. This repository is intended primarily as an aid to testing / early experimentation. It is not intended for 'production' deployment.
