What are the advantages / disadvantes of Xen / KVM?I for one have several machines where I cannot use KVM because the processors do not have support for hardware virtualization. Hence using xen there.
This is a very obvious difference: KVM requires hardware support, Xen won't (although you may have limitations on what you can run, for example no Windows).
From what I have seen (I work for Eucalyptus) depending on your workload
you may see different performance: we have seen it going either way, so it's really a matter of testing on your hardware and benchmark.
From the Image itself, with a bit of care, you can create images that
works nicely on either hypervisor.
