Keynote Session: Hyperlaunch: A New Start for Xen! – Christopher Clark, Consultant & Daniel Smith, Apertus Solutions LLC
This presentation explores the design and motivation for Hyperlaunch: a new, powerful, flexible system for launching the Xen hypervisor and virtual machines. The feature provides a new general capability to build and launch alternative configurations of VMs, including support for static partitioning and accelerated start of VMs during host boot, while adhering to the principles of least privilege. It enables seamless migration for systems that require a dom0, and incorporates Xen’s dom0less functionality, with new developments from the DomB project, on both x86 and Arm platforms. It builds upon and replaces the earlier ‘late hardware domain’ feature for disaggregation of dom0. Hyperlaunch is designed to be flexible and reusable across multiple use cases, and our aim is to ensure that it is capable, widely exercised, comprehensively tested, and well understood by the Xen community.
