Hi There,

I have been discussing the utilisation of Xen in a production environment on a couple of other lists (nzlug, debian-isp etc), but wondering if anyone from this list is using it in new zealand for serving of network services? Please let me know if this is OT.

Would like to hear your experiences if so.

I've deployed a Xen machine together with linux vservers inside the virtual Xen domains (don't ask) Running exim4/apache/samba/ldap and maybe some other things. Has been in production for several months now without any issues. -Richard

Hi, We're using it extensively. We're offering it as a product to customers, running DNS, qmail, apache, and a number of custom apps on it. The stable releases are rock solidly reliable, and the development efforts behind it are giving it new features all the time. At the moment with stable releases you're limited to running a domain on a single CPU, which is a bit of a pain, but the next release is going to include virtual processors, so multiple "real" processors can be sent instructions from one master virtual processor to which domains are assigned.
