Oracle VM VirtualBox 3.2.0
For Windows hosts, Mac, Solaris, Linux rpm-deb-run and PCBSD ( packaging 3.1.8 ) is released the new version of open source virtualizer more prolific in their development cycles, with its improvements and changes , 18 May deepens the hardware upgrade best achieved in guest systems and introduces the ability to virtualize Mac OS X (license only allows Apple hardware). Achieved either Oracle brand software now will remain open source (at least in the branch 3.2.x).
Qubes, secure and robust where it flanks
Could do some comparison between AppArmor and SELinux on this blog, secure systems that is said or insurance could be TrustedBSD SEDarwin, another comparison to be made in next entry is promised.
Now, if what they were promised mentors of solidity, robustness and integration paravirt, if that promise is a system that does not fall, then we are talking about QubesOS . Read more
Mode-compatible CPU
While ending support XP SP2 and Vista RTM from Microsoft (not so the XP SP3 and Vista SP1/SP2) begins processors support virtualization instructions do not have to run native XP mode in Windows 7 by VirtualPC software. In this there will be improvements of performance, he is a patch that will support XP that 7 does not already own the popular democracy of any microprocessor, and is a good attempt to update hundreds of millions of users and business premises - not Linux, not OSX, not BSD, OpenSolaris, not from XP to a NTFS partition for XP capsule within the modern, agile and rendidor operating system that was promised 4 years ago.
VBoxWeb
Now that browsers are starting to support video and audio Theora / Vorbis ogg or H.264/mp4 tags embedded in HTML5 (technology that will continue to exist with Flash, while Adobe Air and Silk give KDE web browser to the desktop without) and has been WebGL 3D (OpenGL ES 2.0), just missing the instructions for local and remote virtualization. In so doing VirtualBox and while still there is only some code to work at CVS, implemented in Python Python API something like VirtualBox VirtualBox RDP + Web Control (Flash based RDP client) + Prototype (JavaScript library) + jQuery - jQuery UI all under the MIT license.
More technical in this post on the blog. Just need to turn it into KDE plasmoid or gadget XAML / WPF in Windows 7 to completely rid the XEN kernel is in VirtualBox (formerly Innotek GmbH ) of the application and until the browser. Speaking of paravirtualization and should be almost finished product that will recommend that De Icaza soon: Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V native .
VirtualBox 3.0.4 Corresistemas
For Windows hosts, Mac, Solaris and Linux. Rpm-.deb-.run is released the new version of open source virtualizer more prolific in their development cycles, with its improvements and changes on August 4 deepens the graphic best achieved in host system and fixes bugs in the 3.x branch Achieved as Acme competitor (the VMWare virtualization in x86 reimpulzaron a decade ago).
Be virtualized Windows and Redhat mutually
Red Hat and Microsoft have reached an agreement by which operating systems can be mutually virtualized: RHEL can accommodate Windows server using Xen and KVM, and Windows Server can host RHEL with HyperV. From Red Hat wanted to clarify that this is not an agreement relating to patent protection (as was the agreement between Novell and Microsoft).
Also yesterday, Red Hat introduced a new product , Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization based on KVM supervidor. Remember that this supervisor was acquired by Red Hat earlier this year, and from now on will be the basis of virtualization in their products, while keeping the support Xen in RHEL 5.x.
Redhat and AMD migrate virtualized systems to manage computers with different CPU
Earlier this year VMware said it would be impossible, but a joint effort by Redhat and AMD has made it possible to migrate an instance of a virtualized operating system (via KVM) of a physical computer to another with a different CPU, operating system without the virtualized interrupt its operation.
A technology that opens up great possibilities for maintenance, hardware upgrades, load balancing, etc..
Have shown a video (in English) in which an instance of a virtualized operating system serves as streaming ininterumpidamente is moved between computers with Intel and AMD. Needless to say that a server client does not perceive at all these operations.
