I'm curious what led you to believe Xen was dead...?
- tyingq 8y agoThere have been notable departures from Xen to KVM in the hosting space. Linode, for example. And while I did note in another comment that AWS uses Xen, it is also migrating away to KVM. Their firecracker VM is also KVM based. It seems fair to characterize it as legacy...though perhaps not dead.
- xmichael999 8y agoThe company I work for produces a VM based product and distributes at least 100 instances (copies of the VM product) a month. We ask what VM platform (and have maintained Xen support) in more than a year not one person has bought a Xen instance. Tons and tons of Hyper-V a fair bit of Vmware and a boat load of KVM variations (Generally using Proxmox and VirtualBox, or a taste of doing it ourselves) but never Citrix. I believe of the 3000+ instances we support only about 100 are Xen based.
