Fedora 11 Virtualization Features

Mark McLoughlin announced[1] the virtualization features in development for Fedora 11.

• VirtVNCAuth

Define a mapping of SASL authentication into the VNC protocol, and implement it for QEMU and GTK-VNC, providing strongly authenticated, securely encrypted remote access of virtual guest consoles.

• KVM PCI Device Assignment

Assign PCI devices from your KVM host machine to guest virtual machines. A common example is assigning a network card to a guest.

• KVM and QEMU Merge

Combine the kvm and qemu packages into a single package.
