In this article, we talk with Jan Beulich about his work with the Xen Project and some of the challenges and rewards of being involved.
The Xen Project, which became a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project in 2013, is an open source virtualization platform. The Xen Project is licensed under the GPLv2 with a governance structure similar to the Linux kernel. Designed specifically for cloud computing, the project powers clouds used by Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, and Verizon and is integrated into cloud computing platforms such as OpenStack.
