Hi Folks,
I know I know this has been done to death but I wanted a more recent take on things from end users while I appreciate the LET/B user base is not the whole world it is a good representation and if nothing else fairly honest about things :)
The reason I am asking this is over the last few months I have been having a bit of a mental struggle with continuing with Xen, it is and will always be my own preference however with the obvious lack of support in terms of automation for the hosting industry I am starting to feel a little cornered in terms of future proofing, the Xen development in solusvm has been stale at best for at least 3 years and progress in the hosting industry seems to be centered around OpenVZ and KVM.
So I would appreciate opinions on the following:
1) Based on nothing else but the virt type would you select Xen or KVM or OpenVZ?
2) Based on nothing else but the virt type would you select Xen or KVM
3) Have you ever avoided a service just because it was Xen and if so why?
4) Are you aware Xen HVM supports installation from ISO just like KVM?
5) If you are an Inception Hosting customer already and the option to convert your current Xen VPS (HVM or PV) to KVM would you want to? (would include data)
If anyone just has any general thoughts and does not want to answer the questions that is fine, it is not a loaded topic :)
Anthony.
