Hello
A simple question
Is virtualization (Xen) in CentOS stable for big developments ?
Somebody is using it for important servers ?
I'm using it on some important servers (isolation and easy of backup/recovery), but I'm not 100% happy with that. As mentioned before, there are still some unresolved bugs. Recently I did standard virt-install deployment using files as a storage, and performance is terrible (even for not very busy servers). If you need to use it, I would recommend not to use virt-install, and use separate lvolumes as storage backend. I also have impression that networking performance is degraded in comparison to vanilla Xen deployments.
Would have to wait for an update?
With my recent experiences I would wait for update or use vanilla Xen.
Regards,
