Securing Your Cloud With the Xen Hypervisor by Russell Pavlicek
The Xen Project produces a mature, enterprise-grade virtualization technology designed for the Cloud featuring many advanced and unique security features. For this reason, it's a hypervisor of choice for government agencies like NSA and the DoD, as well as for new security-minded projects the QubesOS Secure Desktop. However, while much of the security of Xen is inherent in its design, many of the advanced security features, such as stub domains, driver domains, and Xen Security Modules (XSM), are not enabled by default. This session will describe many of the advanced security features of Xen, as well as explaining why Xen is an excellent choice for secure Clouds

LFCOLLAB15: Xen 4.5 and Beyond
The 4.5 release no a minor "point" update: it is one of the most feature-rich releases in the project's history. It contains several important additions. Most notably, new Xen PVH virtualization mode now supports running as dom0, enhanced support for Remus, significant ARM architecture updates, security improvements, real-time scheduling, support for Intel Cache Monitoring Technology (CMT), as well as improvements for automotive and embedded use-cases. Other enhancements include additional support for FreeBSD, systemd support, additional libvirt support, the release of Mirage OS 2.0, and more.
Besides giving an overview of Xen 4.5, we will explain the project's roadmap process and share what's ahead for 2015: such as improved OpenStack integration and hotpatching (applying security fixes without the need to reboot).
Performance Tuning Xen
How to tune your Xen deployment for performance: Xen has several options and different kinds of guests, knowing when to use each kind of guest, and how to tune its parameters for optimal performance can make a big difference. This talk will cover the types of guests that can be deployed on Xen, and the different options you can use to obtain the best performance.
Xen and Apache cloudstack
CloudStack, the world's leading open-source cloud infrastructure platform, was recently donated to the Apache Foundation, and is now an incubated Apache project. Ewan Mellor, Director of Engineering in the Citrix Cloud Platforms Group will describe the CloudStack project and explain why Xen is the pre-eminent hypervisor in public clouds today. He will describe the changes coming in CloudStack in the next 12 months, and how they are going to change the way that Xen is consumed in public and private clouds next year.
Xen Cloud Platform Update
Learn about the current state of the XCP project, how to consume XCP, and how to get more involved.
Xen, XenServer, and XAPI: What’s the Difference?-XPUS13 Bulpin,Pavlicek
Many people have difficulty understanding the difference between the Xen Hypervisor, XenServer, and XAPI. In this session, James Bulpin, Director of Technology for XenServer, and Russell Pavlicek, Evangelist for the Xen Project, will attempt to clarify what each project is, what it does, and how it compares with the others. We will cover some of the basic features and functions, the tasks for which each is suitable, and where the projects overlap. Attendees will come away with a better sense of where these three projects fit in the world of Xen virtualization.
Windsor: Domain 0 Disaggregation for XenServer and XCP
In a traditional Xen configuration domain 0 is used for a large number of different functions including running the toolstack(s), backends for network and disk I/O, running the QEMU device model instances, driving the physical devices in the system, handling guest console/framebuffer I/O and miscellaneous monitoring and management functions. Having all these functions in one domain produces a complex environment which is susceptible to shared fate on the failure of any one function, has complex interactions between functions (including resource contention) which makes it difficult to predict performance, and has limited flexibility (such as requiring the same kernel for all device drivers).
""Domain 0 disaggregation"" has been discussed for some time as a way to break out domain 0's functions into separate domains. Doing this enables each domain to be tailored to its function such as using a different kernel or operating system to drive different physical devices. Splitting functions into separate domains removes some of the unintentional interactions such as in-domain resource contention and reduces the system impact of the failure of a single function such as a device driver crash.
Although domain 0 disaggregation is not new it is seldom used in practise and much of its use is focussed on providing enhanced security. Citrix XenServer will be moving towards a disaggregated domain 0 in order to provide better security, scalability, performance, reliability, supportability and flexibility. This talk will describe XenServer's “Windsor” architecture and explain how it will provide the above benefits to customers and users. We will present an overview of the architecture and some early experimental measurements showing the benefits.
OWF: Xen - Open Source Hypervisor Designed for Clouds
It is no accident that Xen software powers some of the largest Clouds in existence. From its outset, the Xen Project was intended to enable what we now call Cloud Computing. This session will explore how the Xen Architecture addresses the needs of the Cloud in ways which facilitate security, throughput, and agility. It will also cover some of the hot new developments of the Xen Project.
XCP: The Art of Open Virtualization for the Enterprise and the Cloud
XCP is a free and open source self-contained virtualization solution for servers, built on top of the Xen hypervisor. It is easily installable in a few minutes from a single image file, yet powerful and scalable enough to be useful to power users, enterprise environments and cloud deployments. Created from the open-source components of XenServer, it supports the virtualization of a range of operating systems, including Linux, Solaris, BSDs and Windows. This talk will introduce XCP and explain its relationship with Xen and Linux. We will quickly demonstrate how to use XCP via the command-line and using opensource graphical interfaces, and describe some interesting features that set XCP apart from other virtualization platforms.
Oscon 2012 : From Datacenter to the Cloud - Featuring Xen and XCP
Do you dream of being able to spin up ten or twenty (or a thousand) virtual machines in an instant? Discover and repair resource bottlenecks without moving a finger? Dodge the loss of an entire storage array with no-one noticing? Span across data centers with a fleet of virtual machines? This is no sales pitch; during this tutorial, we’ll demonstrate how to leverage truly FOSS tools to build a powerful, scalable cloud that easily competes with those proprietary solutions!
This deep-dive into Xen, Xen Cloud Platform, and other FOSS cloud tools and concepts is intended both for those ready to wholeheartedly embrace virtualization and for those already seasoned in general virtualization practices. You’ll leave with a collection of pre-made tools that you can use right out of the box or modify to your liking. You’ll also leave with immediately useful knowledge on best practices and common pitfalls, presented by actual FOSS practitioners like you.
We begin this tutorial by discussing Xen, Xen Cloud Platform (XCP), and XCP cloud concepts (pools, hosts, storage, networks, etc.). We then explore in detail the API that makes Xen so useful for building a cloud, explore provisioning of hosts and guests using PXE, and discuss templating and installing guest virtual machines. Critical to understanding potential bottlenecks, identifying tuning opportunities and planning for the future, we will discuss performance monitoring and methodologies. Next, we teach you how to make the most of your new FOSS cloud capabilities and discuss in detail high availability infrastructure for storage and networking, advanced networking capabilities like bonding/VLANs, and the cloud orchestration tools that save you time and money. All of this with a focus on XCP in enterprise environments. Tools discussed include DRBD, Pacemaker, Open vSwitch, Cloudstack, Openstack, and more.
We conclude by shedding light on exciting developments: Xen 4.2 has recently been released, with just over a year of development time and nearly 3,000 changesets. We will discuss many of the new features introduced in 4.2, as well as what changes we have in store for the 4.3 release as well as other exciting developments.

Linaro Connect Asia 13 : Citrix - Xen on ARM plenary session
The Xen on ARM effort has had a short, but impressive, history. In late 2011, Citrix seeded a Xen.org community project to port Xen to ARMv7 with virtualization extensions targeting the Cortex A15 as the reference platform. In 2012, the project scope was expanded to include the ARMv8 architecture. Linux 3.7 was the first kernel release to run on Xen on ARM as Dom0 and DomU. Very soon now (Q2 2013), Xen 4.3 will fully support several different ARM platforms, including Samsung Chromebooks, Versatile Express Cortex A15 and Arndale development boards.
In this talk, we will outline how virtualization enabled server consolidation and cloud computing, as well as innovative and secure solutions for both desktops and mobile devices. We will explain why Citrix saw the need for the project, and why it is highly relevant in today’s cloud-centric virtualization landscape. We will discuss the opportunities this has brought to the Xen ecosystem, and then peek into the future possibilities which Xen on ARM will enable. While Xen is best known as technology powering some of the biggest clouds in the industry, but could also be powering virtual machines on devices that fit in your pocket.
The talk will also include a brief overview of the Xen on ARM architecture, including the key design principles employed. The techniques pioneered during the ARM port will allow the Xen community to remove many legacy components from the Xen code base, streamlining both the ARM and x86 implementations. We will share some data on the challenges in porting Xen to new ARM boards. Due to full reliance on Device Tree and to the minimal hardware requirements of the hypervisor, ports to new boards require surprisingly little effort.
Finally, the talk will conclude by outlining the immediate roadmap for Xen on ARM.
Scaling Xen within Rackspace Cloud Servers
Rackspace has years of experience with running Xen at scale, starting with Xen and migrating to XenServer. We will share why we use Xen/XenServer along with some of the issues that we've experienced. We will touch on our experience with migrating from Xen to XenServer and the challenges there. We will share information about Rackspace Cloud Servers architecture, and touch briefly on OpenStack when doing so. We will explain how we use Xen to quickly deploy new Openstack services with what we call Nova on Nova. And finally, we will discuss what additional features and improvements are needed and why.
Why Choose Xen For Your Cloud?

XCP combines the Xen hypervisor with enhanced security, storage, and network virtualization technologies to offer a rich set of virtualinfrastructure cloud services. These XCP cloud services can be leveraged by cloud providers to enable isolation and multi-tenancy capabilities in their environments. XCP also provides the user requirements of security, availability, performance, and isolation for private and public cloud deployments.

µ-Xen
This talk with discuss the design and implementation of a new type of hypervisor derived from the Xen code base. µ-Xen has been built and optimized for modern CPUs and chipsets, and thus assumes the presence of CPU and IO MMUs that are virtualization capable. µ-Xen borrows extensively from the production-proven and tuned Xen code base, but removal of support for older hardware and PV-MMU guests has enabled significant simplification of the code. µ-Xen supports optimizations in support of running large numbers of very similar virtual machines, through the support of a native 'vmfork' optimization and efficient re-merging of shareable pages.
The primary goal of µ-Xen has been to run as a late-load hypervisor on an existing OS. It has a narrow and well-defined interface to the services it expects from the underlying OS, which makes it easy to port to other OSes, or to enable it to run on bare metal. During initialisation, µ-Xen can de-privilege the running host OS into a VM container, enabling it to establish itself as the most privileged software component in the system. Thus, µ-Xen enforces the privacy and integrity of itself and VMs that it is running, against a faulty or malicious host OS, while co-operating with the host OS on the actual allocation of physical resources.
Xen @ Google, 2011
Google uses virtualization for internal corporate infrastructure. As part of this, we have developed a number of tools, some open source, for managing the Xen deployment. The talk will describe the technical infrastructure used, the internal workflows and machine management processes, and the specific use-cases for virtualization.

Cloud computing is catching on in a big way in industry, government, and academia. One of the main reasons for increased adoption is that most of the underlying cloud technologies are open source. This talk will give an overview of these key open source components. The focus will be on infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and in particular technologies such as Xen and OpenStack. Come and learn about these technologies and how you can get involved with these open source projects.
Xenorgs open stack_related_initiatives
Xen.org has several initiatives that aim to have an impact onOpenStack adoption and feature richness. This talk will include adiscussion on the Xen Cloud Platform (XCP), the XCP toolstack (XAPI)port to popular Linux distributions, and the Xen on ARM initiative.
XCP combines the Xen hypervisor with enhanced security, storage, andnetwork virtualization technologies to offer a rich set of virtualinfrastructure cloud services. These XCP cloud services can beleveraged by OpenStack cloud providers to enable isolation andmulti-tenancy capabilities in their environments. XCP also providesthe user requirements of security, availability, performance, andisolation for private and public OpenStack cloud deployments.
Xen.org is working to make XCP and OpenStack work seamlessly so thattogether they can be the ultimate open source cloud solution. Inaddition to deploying XCP as a separate component with OpenStack,Xen.org is simultaneously porting the XCP toolstack (XAPI) to Linuxdistributions, which will give cloud administrators an easy-to-installOpenStack and Xen-based integrated alternative.
Finally, industry thought leaders, such as Mark Shuttleworth, aresupporting the adoption of ARM in server-class systems. Consequently,the port of Xen to the ARM platform could make it possible forOpenStack and Xen to lead the way into the future of ARM-based clouddeployments.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
