Apart from the virtualisation features, I don't see many additions to the kernel that are driven by the cloud computing industry though. Most of the changes are drivers and revamped subsystems.
- jdub 16y ago"revamped subsystems" ... that's where the new circumstances of "cloud computing" have their impact though (and also a bit of general technology churn, but that also has its roots in changing circumstances). Huge memory, multi-core, I/O (and full stack optimisation for SSDs), network filesystems... all of these huge subsystem revamps are inspired by something. :-)
