We are pleased to announce the immediate availability for the Xen4 virtualisation stack for CentOS-6/x86_64
The software is delivered as a dedicated repository under http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/xen4/ and were developed with the help of the Xen Project, the Citrix Xen open-source team, GoDaddy.com's Cloud Engineering team and Rackspace Hosting.
+++++++++++++++++++++++ Release Notes
Detailed release notes are publised on the CentOS wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/Xen4-01
We highly recommend everyone goes through this once, it explains the process we use to update, howto get and apply security as well as bugfix updates and policies around the packaging.
+++++++++++++++++++++++ Getting Started
We have tried to ensure we stay as close to upstream xen project policy as much as possible and all docs published upstream should still apply to the Xen4CentOS builds. To make getting started easy and quick, we have also published a Quick Started guide at: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart
The Xen4CentOS virtualisation stack is available on CentOS-6 x86_64 only; and can be enabled by 'yum install centos-release-xen' which will setup the repo; The QuickStart guide mentioned above then has details on howto do the complete inital install.
+++++++++++++++++++++++ Getting involved and support
The xen4centos virtualisation stack is considered production grade stable and supported via the CentOS community on irc at #centos-virt on irc.freenode.net and the centos-virt list at http://lists.centos.org/ ; All issue reports should be filed at http://bugs.centos.org/ against CentOS-6/xen
+++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks and credits
