Xen project goes for VM Hyperlaunch with version 4.17

Version 4.17 of the Xen project's eponymous hypervisor has debuted, bringing with it the first look at Hyperlaunch capabilities that allow the creation of multipole VMs on startup. When Xen goes to work today, it creates Dom0 – a privileged domain that has to run before the DomU unprivileged domains that contain virtual …

This is so funny that you are here for some years and just broadcasting fake news against the Xen Hypervisor. You don't know that KVM is just a type-2 hypevisor like the VirtualBox and Red Hat tricking customers and selling it :D

Enjoy from your Linux module ;)
