[NTLUG:Discuss] Lastest on Virtualization - Xen, VMWare or Microsoft - which to choose

[Lee Doran]

Ralph,

I agree, the only problem I am having at the moment is we have settled
on Red Hat / CentOS.   Have you tried moving those VM's build on the
Ubuntu box over to a Red Hat or CentOS box?   I am going to load up a
Ubuntu machine and start getting up to speed on its interface and so on.


I have read up on how to load a Red Hat box with KVM - instead of Vmware
or Xen, just haven't had time yet to acctually do one.

  Another reason to think about kvm is the emerging tools.  I just found
a neat tool on Ubuntu called ubuntu-vm-builder.  It lets me script the
generation of virtual machines, including the specification of included
packages.  I have to imagine there are other, similar tools being
developed.  And, to be fair, the ubuntu tools will generate a vmware6
image.  I don't know what version of vmware will run those, though.
Having kvm built into the kernel has to be a big advantage in terms of
what tools will come out in the long run.
Good day,
Ralph
