Is there any technical reason why one would consider using Xen (or XCP-ng) over KVM at this point?

#Xen #XCP_ng #KVM #HomeLab

So, I wrote another thing. Deploying Kubernetes automatically with Terraform and Ansible on XCP-NG.

Automate k8s deployment with Terraform and Ansible on XCP-NG (Rocky Linux/RHEL Based distrbutions)

In this guide, I will show you how to automate the deployment of k8s on a XCP-NG server. We will use Terraform and Ansible to deploy and configure the hosts. This guide still largely applies to other distributions of Linux, the main section you would have to change is the adding the repos and installing the packages. You will need to find the repos and the package names might be slightly different.

So I rebuilt my home-lab VM hosts from ESXi to XCP-ng and, as part of that, cut down the absurd number of VMs I was running. I eliminated legacy VMs. I consolidated. I was ruthless!

But then I discovered how easy it is to use XCP-ng templates and cloud-init to blast VMs into existence... 😆 #xcp_ng #HomeLab

I think XCP-ng may be my new landing place after VMWare. It's awesome!

I wrote up a post on my microserver build using XCP-ng, and use of Network Bound Disk Encryption to keep the VM storage volumes encrypted.

Got a great deal on Amazon for a Beelink SER5 mini-pc. Just loaded XCP-ng on it!

Anyone ever used #TrueNAS_Core or #xcp_ng as #hypervisor ?

How well are they working for hosting VMs?
