Red Hat are replacing Xen with KVM in RHEL 6

According to The Register Red Hat are replacing Xen with KVM in RHEL 6 !

One of the main goals for RHEL 6 was to make managing virtual servers as easy as managing physical machines, which means the bulk of the new software features are found in KVM. It also means that Xen is gone, though that’s hardly surprising since Red Hat purchased Qumranet – creators of KVM – back in 2008.

Red Hat dump Xen for KVM

The latest announcement from Red Hat about Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers says Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization features a unique and revolutionary virtualisation technology called KVM and that they have virtualised a workload of 12.5 VM’s per core (ie 400 VM’s) using a 32 core 1TB server ! And unlike Oracle Xen VM Server, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, includes SELinux secuirty technology !
